Light it up...

Today was another successful step in bringing the EV project to a close. Mike and I worked on running the new loom of wire that is to connect all of the lights on the rear of the car to the fuse box. Mike and Mr. Butler remained after school yesterday for a brief time period where they put the loom together and labeled the wires. This was a huge time saver and I am grateful for their dedication to the car, even when I can’t always be present. That's what teamwork is all about.

After placing the loom in the rear of the car and plugging the bulbs into the receptacles, Mike and I moved towards the front. There we placed the new headlight lenses in the front bumper. In order for the lights to fit, we had to take mounting brackets and rubber-trim off of the old lights and place them on the new.

Labeling each wire helps to prevent confusion when hooking up switches.
