    Since the lens is removable, you could probably get a diffused from Rigid for cheap and swap it.

    Do it! They're about $60 bucks. Don't even need a relay to simplify things. Make sure the switch can handle the ~750mAh draw :)

    Good idea. I'll ask them to see if they have parts for them.

    My approach would involve less cutting and youd (hopefully) use the 4 existing screws. You would just cut the pattern on the left instead of what you did on the right. When you attach the face plate, the screws would clamp the plastic bumper between the face plate and the light, holding everything in place. Just wondering if you considered this but decided against it for some reason.

    short screws and possible compromised seal. It's watertight to some degree. Would have to add another seal if sandwiched.

    Interesting. Ok, thanks. I see my mistake now. I assumed the light was sealed even without the face plate.

    Thanks again for the write-up. I think its a great idea.

    Yeah, I think there would be more sourced parts to do it the way you mentioned. Not that it wouldn't work. Perhaps you can try it? It's an amazing little light for sure.

    Thanks, @Siblue and another member found these lights and posted their installs. They went dual setup and on the outside of the bumper. I went the retarded cyclops version. LOL

    I like the single lamp idea too. Plenty of light off the one light.

    Is there enough room behind the bumper to place the light a little lower, that way another one can be added on the other side under the trailer wiring outlet? Just looking at the pics, it looks like there is enough room in the gap in the metal bracket to lower it.

    Wow-
    Super clean install and great right up.
    I used literally a hole saw and 15 minutes I was done and thought I was meticulous and picky...

    Spliced directly into the bed led wiring, they come on when the door opens or when I hit the 3 way switch on the left
