The Slacker thread hit home for me. I haven't done much if anything on my car this year. One of the big reasons was that my garage had lousy lighting. I could work on it in the daytime with the door open but I rarely have time during the day with work and the kids sports. At night, forget about it. One 70 watt bult just doesn't cut it. I decided to finally install some lights. One huge problem was that my 914 was on jackstands. How the heck was I going to get above it. I finally found good use for those tractor mower ramps.

I just replaced all the flourescent shop lights in my garage with the LED shop lights that Lowes had on sale for $34 two weeks ago. The fluorescent lights did not work well in the cold and were always burning out.
The new LED light are simply amazing giving out much better lighting. I highly recommend them to anyone! Jeff B |
