Wow, glad you've solved the driving light problem, electrical stuff always baffles me and I'm suppose to be an EE. Too bad about your flaring tool. Is that common to bend the flaring tool? Maybe I better stock up, one of these days I plan on doing my brakes but I need to practice, I can't get an even flare made.

Good luck in future progress,

Flair fitting always bends and breaks for the 3/16" lines. I'm amazed the thing lasted as long as it has. I just ordered 5 new 3/16" fittings from the Eastwood Co. They are 'only' $2.99 each.

Flairing is an art. You gotta practice a lot before doing a final flair. One thing I have learned is that you need to leave a little more pipe above the clamping mechanism than the instructions say... it gives a better flair over on the second step.

Ohhhhh. I'm surprised I haven't busted one yet in my fumblings. I bought the kit from Eastwood so I glad I can get replacements. And thanks too for posting the tip about mounting the flaring too in a vise. After I order some replacements I'll have to try some more.
