    Re: lighting your cockpits

    I have hacked a power supply to run 12v auto lamps underneath my glare shield, and am adding some 12v post lights on a few instruments.

    Re: lighting your cockpits

    You should use a PC powersupply to feed the 12V stuff. You can find them at all recycle bins where they sell computers, and it's usually not because of faulty power supply that old computers are thrown away, so that do the trick.
    Just shortcut the GREEN wire, and it will work.
