I keep looking at various options like that but have no wish to drill the panels so unsure of any other mounting options??

I have some Vision X Dura minis on the back of my 110. For the price, very unimpressive.

Also have some of those 18W LED ones on the sides of my 110 and on the back of the 90's cage. They are great little lights, especially for the money. I would recommend getting the 'WOWLED' branded ones as they seem to have superior sealing and better longevity
Also change the stainless fasteners they come with for good ones as they don't last well

I cut the cables on them shorter and fit either superseal connectors or Deutsch DT connectors to them.

I've had these Rigid Industries on for 8 years. Great output and never had an issue:

They were, however, stupidly expensive (as copies weren't available at the time).

But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

I made this aluminium bracket to avoid drilling mounting holes in a panel.
It still needed a small grommet through the roof for the wire though.

That light is the second one that's been on there, the first one corroded.
This one is branded WOW LED, bought off eBay, great for only £8.

There are lots of ways of mounting lights that don't require any drilling - CB aerial gutter mounts are good option - but there's always the issue of getting the cable inside. I'm not a fan of passing cable through door seals so holes and glands were the only practical option. Darren

How did you run the cable ?

The cable goes through the roof, near the gutter corner.
If the light ever comes off, it will only need a single small blanking grommet to fill it.

It then drops down behind the rear window trim, with switch in the speaker panel.
Connects to the commonly used purple wire, permanent live.
