Side L.E.D. lighting & question

I get a lot of info from everyone here and thank you. I have had many people tell me they like how I mounted my lights on the side. So, with that I would like to share how I mounted them and I have a question.

Light Mounts: I found my CB antenna brackets on Amazon. Stainless steel and mounted the antenna. I noticed this would be perfect for the side lamps. So I bought two more and mounted them in the side rails as you can see in pic. It's simple, solid and very stable.

My front LED switch is mounted in a slot on a panel next to my back windows button. I need to mount my side LED switches and I guess the best place is on the "change holder" area.

Do you think this is a good location? Also How in the heck do I pull out or "unbolt" the slot?

Thanks.

 

That’s pretty slick, guess you don’t use a bed cover though?

 

See my thread I put together:

EDIT: what is the switch size you are holding?

 

Many say you can just pry it out with a good trim tool. I didn't want to take a chance at damaging anything or breaking tabs so I did it this way so I could release the tabs from behind.

ZekeR7 - You Rock! Cool Deal. I searched but didn't find this. It's Exactly what I needed.

SmokeyBandit - I thought about a cover. I "kinda" still do but this would NOT allow it. Unless I seriously modify it.

 

Agggggrrgg @msj

Aggggghhhh but @mesojdm can help you with that .
Looks great

 

The tabs on that trim is a lot stronger than most tabs/clips. I don’t know why though, but it’s stronger than some of the fender tabs I have seen. As long as you pull straight out and not bend, it’ll come right out with no issue.

 

Glad to help

 

1 more question please.

I had a feeling to "pry" but I didn't want to take a chance. I have some plastic prys with my watch kits and tried it just now. Exactly like you said. I also took a pic of the screws you were talking about for your feed. Thanks again everyone.

Question: What size fuse would you recommend with my inline fuse for CB, three L.E.Ds ?

 

Not really familiar with CBs (I use HAM radios), but I would think they are the same.

How much power is your CB transmitting/drawing?

For LED, (EDIT): NOT more than 5, preferably 3.5 amps. Any more than 5, you might start to get flickering lights and may damage your LED.
