To mount the 520's as I did, you need to attach the 520's to something more rigid than that piece of plastic which it appears to be mounted to.
Place a piece of aluminum plate about a quarter inch thick behind the plastic . 6 x 6 inch size will do. Transfer the original holes of the plastic thru the aluminum. Mount the 520 thru this pastic/aluminum wall. You now have to orient the lamp glass so the light will be spread correctly, not 90 degrees off. Pop the lens off, rotate the lens as required and drill two new holes in the lamp housing. Silicone the old holes to keep the weather out of the housing.
The outer plastic winglet is then set behind the installed lamp and attached to the piece of aluminum ( 6x6").
The on-switch is located on the side of the overhead console, together with the Rear plug-in
12 volt switch for winch operation in the back.
My 4x4 shop did all the wiring, neatly hidden underneath all the plastic moldings. Both the
switches have LED lights, red and green, when on.
Yes, the PIAA logo was sawed out by hand and a Dremel tool. Let's more light out in the middle of the lamp.
Front winch uses factory supplied locking pin,
required a vertical hole to be drilled thru the Warn cradle. No secure lock found as yet for it.
