First get the url to the actual image instead of the page its presented on, then put that between the {IMG} {/IMG} (but using regular braces instead of curly braces). Click MODIFY on your original post and you can see what I did to it.

I picked up a similar headlight off eBay for $40 delivered. It was listed as being a single headlight for a dune buggy -- guy didn't know what he had. Complete with Bosch lamp and lens.

Originally mounted with a triangular steel plate, two holes to mount to the tripletree and one for the headlight.

Wanted the lamp higher and back so I made a small mount out of aluminum angle:

I also do not place any bids until the last ten seconds of the auction. My grandfather taught me patience. He had a photograph of a bee on a prized rose. Picture was taken by focusing on the rose and waiting for a bee to land.
