The market has a way of exposing weaknesses. While I was struggling with the Four Eyes headlight extender for the ST model Spyder, the number of enquiries that I received regarding this model continued to grow.

I have come up with a solution and have shipped half a dozen kits in the past couple of weeks, but it is not as simple to fit as the same kit for the GS/RS models, and the RT remains problematical.

While investigating the RT and ST, I have found a way round that promises to make these kits easier to fit, at the cost of being very different to the GS/RS kit.

I’ll put a test version together and test it shortly and, if it works well, then I’ll add it to my range.

The most difficult kit in my range for me to make is the trailer light isolator. While I have been working on making it easier for me to make, and simple to install, every one I sell has been slightly different. The last iteration was much easier to make, so much so that I think a new circuit board layout is needed.

One problem is that users want to have a live 12 volt supply as well as the trailer lights. This could draw as much or more current as all the lights on at once, and this makes board design difficult. A high current track takes up a lot of space.

There are workarounds, and they might be sufficient to make the new layout viable, but I would like to have a one shot fix, so for now, these kits will continue to be hand made.

The LED brake/tail light supply situation remains grim. Good bright globes are scarce and expensive, and so I have not produced any more kits for sale.

If you have your own LED brake/tail lights, you can still buy the bare isolator. It should work fine, and if not, I will refund your purchase.

Pogo.
