DRILLING PRECAUTIONS: When drilling holes, check the area 

you are drilling into to ensure that you do not damage vehicle 

components while drilling. All drilled holes should be deburred, 

and all sharp edges should be smoothed. All wire routings going 

through drilled holes should be protected by a grommet or 

convolute/split loom tubing.

2.  Drill three 0.177-inch diameter holes for the #8 screws, or 

three 0.201-inch diameter holes for the #10 screws.

3.  Scribe a hole for the wires or an installer-supplied bushing at 

the center of the screw pattern.

4.  Drill a suitably sized hole at the scribed position for the 

bushing and wire routing hole. Otherwise, route the wires 

through the drain notch in the optional mounting flange. 

Leave open space for water to drain. 

5.  Align the search light over the drilled holes. Route the wires 

through the wire routing hole. Seal the hole with a bushing 

or RTV if entering a watertight compartment.
