Gooner 143 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 I would use an in line fuse stops bulbs from blowing Quote Link to post
paulus 26 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 be carefull how you rewire anything on a lithium, best just to secure the one thats on it with tape although a few lads have changed the plugs over to a better type Quote Link to post

Millet 4,497 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) As raw say's you will loose any warrenty if you tamper..just tape everything up like Paulus said and grin and bare it till the warrenty run's out's..who know's you might get used to it..i have with my cigar socket type fitting..

I did that at first taped the cigar socet up, real nice and tight, and it was great for a while,,, but eventually the solder on the inside of the socket gave way,,, Quote Link to post
Millet 4,497 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 I unscrew the socket and put a ball of tape around the wire near the solder..then srew it back together the tape will act like a kind of plug and stop the soldered wire from being pulled .. Quote Link to post
TOMO 26,052 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Good idea,,, but to late now...lol Quote Link to post
