    So Dub, how bout a bit more info on this light. Is it battery op or hard wired? Is it just mounted with double side tape?
    Looks good and fits well!
    I am thinking 2...one on each side mounted lengthways!

    It has "AA" batts...added a couple of layers of dubbl stick to the center area of the included dubbl stick velcro,(circular) to accomidate the radius of the molded plastic piece.

    Those two little nubs are the contact points that turn it on & off, it also swivels in it's base, fore & aft.

    Best seven dollar mod ever!...

    Dang, picked up one of these cool lights today at WallyWorld but the touch connectors don't work so I can't turn it on......we can get it to come on by moving the batteries a bit so I think the LEDs are working....back we go tomorrow..
    Dub, there's no magic to this thing is there? You're supposed to be able to just touch where those 2 thingys are and it should come on, right? Or maybe you just have some magic touch goin' on......

    Nope...just make "thingy" contact & it should come on...

    You did pull out the batt isolator, didn't you?... (keeps the batts from making contact during shipping)
