Led reversing lights and earthing points

Earthing points on all Triumphs is an issue. I use a wire brush on a drill and get a nice shiny earth point. Where did you get the LED lights for the reversing lights? Do you have a Part Number? Also the wiring in our cars is old and are too small. The OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) wire doesn't have the current carrying capacity. Up grade your wiring with wire from Jaycar. They have good quality wire. eg instead of using cable rated at 8 amps go up to 10 or 12 amp cable. This reduces voltage drop and no matter how good the earth points are, the only way to reduce voltage drop is to increase wire size. Go back to your battery and check and clean the earthing point to the engine. On my Stag there is an earth wire from the engine to the body on the LHS. Once again undo the wire, clean the area and put on a new wire but larger diameter. If you can't get a wire get your auto elec make one up for you. It is extremely important to to have the battery earthed to the engine and also the body. It may surprise you how well the starter motor will work and the dash instruments will read better. To also help give you brighter rear lights, run a 22amp cable from the battery to a relay at the rear to run the lights. Use the oem wire to operate the relay coil. This way you will get alternator voltage at the lights. Do this also for the reverse lights. I have been saying for years, get rid of the rear bulb holders and replace them with bulb holders off a 2500. They run separate earths. The Stag bulb holders rely on the chrome plastic on the light surround for an earth and they are rubbish. To get brighter headlights use the OEM wire to operate the relay coil and run better quality wire directly off the battery to the head lights. IMPORTANT - Buy a good quality relay with a fuse. If you run an electric radiator fan relay that also. To make everything in the engine bay look neat you can buy multiple relays that are grouped together and look more professional. In my 2.5PI I use the power off the Inertia Switch to run the relay for the Bosch Pump. A 22 amp cable runs directly off the battery through the relay to the pump. I have never had an issue with voltage drops to the pump. When using cable terminals go out and buy the ratchet style crimpers. Those other crimpers that look like a pair of pliers are as useless.
