That looks like it will work fine. The only thing that may be a concern is the upper temperature limit is 115 F. While this is very hot, I'd bet the interior gets hotter than that in the summer sun. The superbrightled one is good to 140 F.

Good point, i didn't see that on my phone when looking. That's a very good point something like the one i found would be nice because i can use a blank cover for a carling switch and drill a small hole then bolt it in place.

That's a great idea on how to mount it. I'm sure you can find one somewhere. It may take some research though lol.

Always use that code. It is for up to $50 off so if your order is larger just split it into multiple!

Agreed with one exception. They usually have a $40 off $100 code and if I can make that one work, I use it for the higher %. I'll add odds and ends I need in the garage to hit the make. if my order is above $90. When I bought shocks for my SD, I placed (2) $100 orders for the shocks, got $40 off each order, and then got a mail-in-rebate from Monroe. I think I did (4) shocks for $100.

Yup. I buy most of my parts there for that reason. And if you use eBates.com, you can get and additional 5.5 to 7.0% in cash back. I usually do that too lol.
