How Large Of a Mounting Hole Is Needed For the Backup Light w/ Chrome Housing # BU11CS?

Question:

What is the diameter of the light socket mounting stud? It appears that a drilling is required for the mounting surface. Is a bulb light included? Can an amber colored be used and what is the bulb specification? Thanks.

To install the Backup Light w/ Chrome Housing # BU11CS you will need a 3/4" hole for the light socket and wire to pass through. As the light also uses the mounting hardware for its ground circuit you will need to ensure that your mounting surface is grounded, otherwise you will need to also run a jumper wire from the mount to a ground connection.

The light includes an 1156 Incandescent Bulb # DI49VR. You can swap this out for a longer lasting and more efficient LED Bulb # DI25VR.
