So I finally got around to doing this mod! I am very happy with the results. :eusa_dance:
Just like Jediael, I attacked the back end of the inner fender support with a rotary tool, but because I was going to epoxy the light in place like 89max did, I simply sliced off the butt. However, after mocking up the light, I grew concerned with the wire bundle getting lacerated by the serrated edge rubbing slices into it by the vibrations and bumps. So I took some chrome door edging I had lying in the back of my project closet and covered up the edge, but not after washing off the seven years of road grime followed up with some metal polish. Say what you will, but a roommate of mine once criticized me of washing the ashtrays and it hasn't traumatized me once after all these years :rofl_200:
I followed through with Jediael's afterthought and ground off the light's two plastic mounting hooks. Here you see the last one set next to the remains of the first one
Just like Jediael and 89max, I stuck on a couple strips of 3M "Automotive" double-sided tape. Here you see that I've already trimmed the upper strip's left-hand side into the shape of the light and have traced out the other side of the light on the right-hand side of the tape.
Following 89max version of the mod, I applied a bead of silicone epoxy along the top of the light and filled in the crevice underneath in the back. To mount the license plate, I drilled a couple holes in it and attached it to the light's mounting studs with a couple of wing nuts.
Heeding Jediael's advice, I spliced in some extensions to the ends of the light's factory wires. I took it one step further and organized the wires into some of that plastic sleeving.
Now at a glance, it wasn't obvious from Jediael's pic of exactly how to wire up the light, but after thinking about it for a couple minutes, it became obvious. To save the next modder some time, here's a connection chart
As a finishing touch, I got myself a couple of 1/2" chrome plugs from the local home improvement store and covered up the two turn signal mounting holes
Here's some stills
And here's a vid
