Re: TI-H: TI-Glow
I had a friend who installed their own EL on an 83, and to make it work
they built their own inverter and attached an external battery source.
Trouble is that external battery was huge (4in*4in*6in). Can an inverter
be mounted internally, and if it can, would it drain the batteries quick?
