It looks like there are two circuits. Check the switch for the light and see if it is multi-position. Your new light is a single circuit so most likely you can use either the green/black or the white/blue pair of wires. A multi-meter would be best for checking voltage and polarity.

Here's a link to an adapter cable for the other input available on Amazon: 8 mm adapter cable

Check out Will Prowse on YouTube. He's an excellent source for info on LiFePO4 batteries. He likes Li-Time a lot. Here's a link to a review:

Are you saying that the label says "Incomplete" or when you do a search that the result says "Incomplete"?

I upgraded to LiFePO4 5 years ago. I upgraded my solar charge controller to one with a LiFePO4 profile. I did not upgrade my converter. It will not fully charge my batteries which is not a problem for LiFePO4. I am seldom plugged into shore power or run my generator relying mainly on solar...

In 2014 the police force in Waldo Florida was shutdown because of an illegal ticket quota. I've been in the town a couple of times prior to the shutdown to attend the flea market there. There was a huge billboard just out of town warning of the speed trap. Even so there were two cop cars...

A couple of questions. First does the battery come up to full charge when plugged into shore power and how old is the battery?

Here is my solution. When the inverter is being used just the outlets are being powered by 120 vac. When on shore or generator the inverter is disconnected. The charger is only powered when on shore/generator no separate relay is required.

I also use stainless steel fasteners for anything exposed to the weather. One situation that can be problematic is stainless steel fasteners that are threaded into aluminum. These fasteners become almost impossible to remove after a period of time. A boating friend told me that brass would be a...

I'm at Gunsight Wash a BLM campsite which is two miles south of Why. I've been here for two weeks and have had no problems. It's very peaceful here especially since they closed the Lukeville border crossing.

Good catch. When I purchased this battery a year ago shipping was free. I have no idea if this battery has low temperature cutoff because I'm never in a cold enough spot to test it.

$165.99 for a 100ah LiFePO4 battery on Amazon: Feence 12v 100Ah LiFePO4 battery I purchased this battery a year ago for $300. It has served me well.

Most "Drop-in" 12 volt lithium batteries have built in BMS (Battery Management System). The BMS prevents you from doing bad things to the battery including low temp charging. Some cheap lithium batteries do not include low temp charge protection. One of the best sources for lithium battery...

A 2005 E450 does not have struts. It has coil springs and separate shocks. I replaced my shocks with Bilstein shocks at 110,000 miles.

Two years ago my converter was stolen on my 2005 with Ford V10 chassis. I put in a section of flex tubing and have had no problem. The O2 sensor is in front of where the converter was so there are no error codes. It is slightly louder.
