The next month or more could be the ideal time for those "back burner" jobs Bunny.  . Top quality turning on the pedestal, you can see these cars are "handmade" and not made by robots

A third higher lamp will be for sure a nice safety DIY winter project. But Hogzilla: consider that the kind of third lights shown in the pictures above have a "con": if you plan to travel and consequently use a luggage rack, this light will interfere with the rack and/or be hidden behind the luggage. Check out my luggage set: it's not too tall but it would definitely hide any third lamp. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/11/02/Hangar-works-10---Img10.jpg) But if you don't plan to travel ever with your 3-Wheeler, then this may never need a luggage rack and so many bags on it. Also if you travel solo, you can use the co-pilot's side and footwell to put your bags, and don't need again the luggage rack. In our case we're two travelling with the 3-Wheeler, so we really need it. The Australian version will do! Now I need to get that ordered. Thanks!

Richard is correct. I ordered those part numbers a while ago and received the following: ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/11/02/P1150338.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/11/02/P1150339.jpg) I found the finish on the aluminium upstand to be poor so this will require refinishing & polishing before fitting. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/11/02/P1150340.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/11/02/P1150341.jpg) I haven't got around to fitting it yet, partly because it goes against the grain to cut a 12mm hole in the bodywork.  Also, my car is a 2012 model so will almost certainly not have the necessary electrical connector in the wiring loom. Not a big problem I guess but another reason to put the project on the back burner for now! By the way, in 2018 I paid Uncle Melvyn £38.31 for the lamp (U340032) and £8.67 for the pedestal (T400037). Both prices exclude VAT & delivery. THANK YOU!!!!

For visibility I use two small LED rear bicycle lights that are attached to the hoops via rubber straps. These are the ones you see flashing on the rear of bicycles, I have them on a slow repeat flash that can be seen for hundreds of yards and are very bright even in daylight, cheap and removable.

Mine has the hollow shaft through the lamp and that light can be seen from every angle because the video I posted was taken from the ground. From another drivers position it is clearly visible, no stalk needed. That must have been some Australian requirement that has no bear, especially if you have a rack with luggage. Luggage racks might be great for campers but I find small bags in the passgenger footwell do just fine and a credit cardf or the hotel :-)

Ha! We spent 2 weeks in Japan with one small overnight bag each... She travels light; I am lucky :-) Here are the lamps I used for the third brake lamp. https://www.jpcycles.com/product/17...IibjM5AIVyh-tBh2zggNlEAQYBCABEgIQJfD_BwE

Another option for those with the tall roll-bars with built-in headrests is to add lights on the back of the headrests. I used these Dogeye Puckz and wired them as brake lights, running lights and turn signals. It makes the M3W a lot more visible in traffic, and they are really bright. I wired them to the brake light connector, and then tapped into the turn signals and running lights. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.tm-img.com/images/2020/11/02/221973A5-E12C-463D-9FF9-2B5B9C6C1D2A.jpg)
