Rear work light

[scottyboy436]

I just received my rear work light from stedi . Only down side is that the tail isn't long enough and it's a DT connector so would have to get it to DTP

So my question is , is it worth cutting off the DT connector , soldering the extension on then using the DTP connector , so would be 1 join , 1 connector or leave it as is and solder the extension onto the DT tail and then dtp the extension end so it would be 1 solder join , but would have 3 connectors in it

I had this same problem with my Lazer, I cut the plug off the light, soldered it and sealed it and made a new plug for the roof.

Yeah it's a bit naff that you only get a 8" tail with the light , bought all the proper compounds to do a water tight solder joint and gear for the connector

Had similar with Lazer, they put a dtp on the end but the tails were way short, Just made a suitable dtp extension.

Yes! I made a custom cable - DT to DTP.

Here is mine. Custom mount, 3mm stainless, about as strong as the rack it’s mounted to, but keeps the light flush.

Think I got the same style of light the stedi C4 , I'm probably going to get rid of the DT connector and just extend the cable then a dtp on the end of that
