Mod for 2007 Challengers (and poss others)to the Awning Light

[emmitdb]

Greetings All,

My 2007 Challenger is fitted with an awning light that backs onto a kitchen cupboard.

Apart from the fact that it glowed like a NAAFI candle (ask your Dad!) it did not have any means of reflection towards the outside of the van that I thought somewhat ridiculous.

I bought a stainless steel mirror from Ebay, cut it down to size to get it inside the back of the awning light fitment using a pair of kitchen scissors, (hope SWMBO doesn't read this) and using a small food can as a former, bent the mirror to a curve.

The addition of two holes has allowed me to bolt the curved mirror onto the backing/entry plate inside the cupboard.

Result? a much brighter light shining out into the gloom which will be further enhanced when I buy one of those 63LED byonet fitting light bulbs.

That is a great idea and I will be doing mine tomorrow. I cant ask my dad about the NAAFI candle he has long gone, but I can just remember it myself. You need to shine a torch on it to see if it was lit.

As dim as a Toc H lamp
