Maybe I'm not as careful as the rest of you. I tried magnetic lights and ended up with scratches. Took all the precautions too. I will not run magnetic lights anymore. As adapting the toads lights, I did my own wiring and brought the proper diodes at a electronics store. If your handy, it is not difficult. Use good quality connectors, not butt connectors. If you know someone who works for the telephone company, get some from them. Theirs are excellent and have lub inside to protect the wiring from corrosion.
