  1. Well, finally got the bright idea to throw these guys on... Halfway into drilling the holes for the bolts, I realized that self-tapping screws would work so much better than bolting them into the roof.... So I have em held on with that. They're nowhere near done, I still gotta wire em in and put the 5th one on and silicone em up. I could only put four of em on yesterday because I managed to "misplace" the fifth base. My buddy called me this morning and said it was sitting on the floor after I had looked all over the garage for it yesterday. Of course. lol Oh well. Gonna niteshade em this weekend too and smoke em up nicely. Stay tuned!

    Only on one of the lights. lol But I put bolts in that one. The rest I used self tappers before I drilled.

    Not sure whether that's a bad reaction or not... Haha
     
  7. self tappers do all the work no need to drill hole for mounting, except drill hole for the wires.

    Yeah, and I just realized... I went and hit a mud hole last night with the truck. Washing it is going to SUCK! Gotta silicone these things before I get any of the mud off.

    I'm gonna silicone around EVERYTHING. lol Outside of the bases, around the self tappers on the insides of the lenses, everywhere I can. Luckily there's no rain forcasted for the next few days or I'd be screwed.

    Eh, I'll find a way to keep it dry. If it leaks a little tiny bit, it don't matter. Most of the lights are over another piece of sheet metal, so it won't be leaking directly onto the headliner.
