I soldered some resistors (460 ohms) on these LED dome lights I purchased to address the ambient voltage. I'll see if they work tomorrow. The LMC kit had some silly blueish LEDs. These are much warmer and brighter with some yellow light.
To get a 34" spare to fit, we moved the whole bracket up an inch; however, we still need to move the hole for the carriage bolt over around 2". I'm gonna lift it another inch while we're at it. We're gonna use a triangulated plate of 5/16" to make it. Then paint it with the same black Imron. I wonder if any other clearance issues will develop on the bracket.
