The last ones i had ( think a little older) were oxford ones had a analogue 'volume' control, and a push on/off switch, the guy who fitted then wired them straight (well through a fuse) to the battery so i had to add a relay to stop me leaving them on!!!, the later ones i helped a mate fit had an 'auto off', which didnt seem too keen to switch off (cant remember the make but think oxford) so again another relay. I did find even on summer days i had them on there lowest setting, if i didnt on longer rides my hands used to get stiff.
So far as oxford products go i had a clock/temp gauge from them, not too expensive maybe £20, which failed within a month, when i called them, i was told 'well its a cheap item what do you expect', well actually i expect something i buy to work!!! Would have returned it but as my parents bought it for me i didnt want to run the risk of offending them by asking for the recipt ( they are older).
So convinced myself, job for this week, buy/fit hotgrips and need to get round to fitting usb charger as well.
