[QUOTE="01ssreda4, post: 5478, member: 477"] [/COLOR][SIZE="5"]Remove the stock light by two pushpins and unthread that wing nut. Place the LED in the bracket and you can see the general location you want it to be mounted. We are going to cut and remove the entire lower portion of the bracket as it won't be used and focus on just the top plate.
