Again, thanks everyone for all the incredibly kind comments and support. It’s truly appreciated.
Apologies for not responding or commenting on anything that’s been said in the past few days, I’ve been so incredibly busy at work lately it’s ridiculous. I’m literally working 12 hour days, eating, taking care of family stuff after dinner and crashing for 3-4 hours before getting up the next day and doing it all over again.
I did get a half hour or so yesterday after my dad left from his weekly visit to look at the license plate light installation/mounting issue
69hurstolds pointed out though. The available real estate that I thought I would be able to get the light through and into is too tight unfortunately.
And attempting to install the light through it’s opening resulted in this…
I considered several other options and wasn’t terribly enamoured with any of them. Cutting access holes in the top, from the underside etc, nope, not gonna do it.
All is not lost though, as this may answer the bump or no bump question serendipitously enough. I’m only short of getting the light in through the opening by about an inch, so I think if I keep, but widen the bump, it’ll go.
I’m going to confirm this speculation by cutting out the necessary area and testing it, but I’m already about 90% sure it’ll work. The bump will remain the same height it currently is, but will need to be extended to the same length as the area beneath it for the light to fit through the opening.
I think this’ll actually help the aesthetics, the bump should look more natural if it’s a little longer. Just as soon as I can find a bit of free time to get back on it I’ll confirm.
