Labcraft Map Light

I've been meaning to fit a map light for a while now but wasn't sure where to mount it. Thanks to jem90's post on the osram map light the solution was found.
I opted for the labcraft version mainly because of the red light option ( ooer missus).
I found one reasonably priced on eBay £24.95 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201486223886

first up removed the side vent and dash screws (later realised that removal of the lower speaker would allow me to reach right up)

drilled and tapped two hole for m5 bolts self tappers would probably have done

I then fitted nuts to the bolts a belt and braces job, also drilled 6mm hole for wires

cable ran to piggy back 2A fuse on AC circuit
I fitted a 10mm tool clip using the existing screw on the washer pipe cover

I'm pleased with the light and thanks again to jem90 for the inspiration

Nicely installed and a nice bit of kit. I particularly like the ability to switch to red light which (unless you suffer from red/green colour blindness) is more efficient than white light for night vision.
