Those lights are a great idea, and the location works perfectly without interfering with any attachments. I ordered a couple sets myself. Thanks for sharing.

I see in the ebay description that they are "9 watts." I think they are probably 0.9 watts. A nine watt LED in a small package like that will overheat quickly.

For those not familiar with LED lighting, a good rule of thumb when replacing incandescent lamps with LEDs is that LEDs are approx. 8-10 times brighter per watt than incandescents. That is, a 10 watt LED would be as bright as a 80-100 watt incandescent. So these three 0.9 watt LEDs would be as bright as a single 35 watt headlamp (approximately). "warm white" LEDs are less efficient than the cool white variety, and create more heat in the process. (they actually use an LED to excite a phosphor that then emits the warm white light). I think these particular lights would fall in the cool white spectrum.

Great idea, and beautiful install. Now I want some. Thanks for the link and idea. Chris

don't think you can beat these for the price ... very functional, the only lights illuminating my garage.

The lights are nice!

I think I'm going to order some and try to mount them under the foot rests pointing out to light up the ends of the deck.

Wire 2 of them up and place on the back of your car where they would resemble reverse warning lights (backup lights). Then when some clown is so close he is almost in the trunk of your car, and won't back off, turn them on from the dashboard.....

Jokers ALWAYS back off if they think you hit reverse..

Now THAT is a good idea. When mowing at night that is a problem that I often encounter.
