A-pillar Spotlight part II

Well, the cop light is finally installed! After two unsuccessful attempts to install it myself, I had my mechanic do it. Michael and I tried to install it at Kris' house a few weeks ago, but we couldn't get the hole drilled correctly. I then tried to fix it a few days ago and messed it up even more. For a while I had a 3/4" x 2" hole in my door covered with masking tape.

All I gotta say is, my mechanic is a god! He took the crappy hole that we'd drilled, smoothed it out, finished it, and installed the light. He used body filler and silicone to fill in the imperfections of the hole and the light works great! It's actually one of the best Apillar installs I've ever seen, and it doesn't leak! I have full horizontal rotation of the light from pointing to the passenger side Apillar all the way around to point at the driver's Dpillar. Vertical rotation is slightly more restrictive, but still has a wide range. And boy is the light bright! It's supposed to be somewhere around 230,000 CP. It's way brighter than my driving lights, which are much brighter than my high beams.

Below are my pics, all I got left to say is Woohoo!

Hmmm. . .I don't know. I think I like my handheld Million CP spot better.
Very original though.

It's the HID Unity brand light from Galls.com. I'd pull out the instructions and tell you how to take them apart, but they're in Houston with most of my stuff that's already been moved. If I remember correctly, there are a couple of screws that hold the shaft and the 90deg bend together. Just undo those screws and the two halves should come apart. You will need to undo the mounting brackets from both the inside and outside and the entire assembly should pull out. Most spotlights are made by Unity, and they're all of similar construction. Good luck!
