I am in the planning stage of installing new marker (LED) lights down the side of my bus at the floor level line on each side. I want to install 6 new maker lights evenly spaced just for the look I am wanting to create. ...
... I discovered today that you should install (load Led Protectors) in line. Is this a crock
...Is this a crock or should I consider this also in advance?Led Protector Designed to help protect any led bulb from power and voltage surgesGot a vehicle that eats LEDs??Helps protects LEDS from premature failure - Designed to works with any 12 volt led bulbCommon causes of Premature LED Failure Switching on the ignition & starting the engine while the LEDs are switched on.Changing or disconnecting the battery while the LEDs are switched on.Charging the battery with an auxiliary battery charger, or revving the engine hard with a weak or dead battery while the LEDs are switched on.Using jumper cables while the LEDs switched on.Excessive AC voltage due to damaged diodes in the alternator.High system or circuit voltage.Voltage surges caused from switching on and off amplifiers or other peripheral add on devices that use a lot of power.Faulty or out-of spec. voltage regulators....rebuilding a bus from the ground up can be a real bummer at times when you do not know all you should to do it.

Well they were over 30 years old and I swear she spent months laying next to the Titanic before I got her!! Thanks for comment.Gary
The spacing of the lights in my mind that is, is that I plan to put a marker light centered over the front wheel wheel, over the center of each bay door, over the center of the bogie wheel and over the center of the drive wheel. I will tape them in place to see what I really want to do but remember also what you have told me about the back marker light. That was one reason I did not intend at this time to put any that far back but not sure how the OLE Eagle will look spaced as I have visioned above. It comes out to pretty close to 5 ft. from center to center with the above locations I mentioned.
