    Search function isn't playing well with searching........ So- Seen a bunch of pic's, but have some Q's for those who have/done.....
    1- if centered in the middle of the panel below the deck lid, how did the arc of the panel affect the mounting of the light=IE- the light is flat, and the panel curves more at it's center.
    2- if centered = what kind of gap should I expect, and would more of a gasket be sufficient?=thicker?
    I can make a template, and measure, but want real world experience.
    3- did you mount lower on the panel to avoid "more" of the arc?
    I'm going to run these because I like them. I just am looking for any pitfalls, should'as, would'as, could'as.....
    Can run lower at bottom of panel, or centered. Thinking mid-way, but would like to hear the pro's and con's.... A lot of my lil books are black and white, and I can't ask the owners/builders......
    Seeking real world knowledge here......Thanks-Kid

    I think anywhere on the lower panel works with no gap or issue's been done a lot
    Good luck drill away
