Either or would be fine. I’ve never seen this before and thought it was really unique. Do you have this wired up to switch pros or just a single switch?

I bought the light from Amazon
Amazon Amazon
Where everything comes from. Removed the center logo piece and removed the L. Sanded everything down with 80 grit paper and filled with body filler.
After some sanding and a few skim coats I primed and painted it and let it cure a few days. After it was cured I used the template with a drill bit and jigsaw to cut out the area to insert the light. Ran a switch into the dash and tapped into the 12 volt for the "cigarette lighter". all 3 front lights are on one switch. I have one extra of the center light if any one is interested. I will post pictures in a few minutes.

Really clean looking install! Thanks for sharing closeups of it.

Did you tap into the cig fuse with an add a fuse or the actual wire going to the cig outlet?

You’ll need the radar mount. It can be found on amazon and the invisicord to tap into your mirror. Or you can make your own. It’s just telephone wire and 2 plugs soldered.
