    Stayed with the bulbs and used stainless steel U- bolts

    Did you have to drill new holes for the U-bolts?

    Took a hand chainsaw file and cut Little slots on the side of the PVC pipe

    I did drill new holes in the back of the light caseIng

    Excellent job and description. This raised light setup also helps with visibility when trailering the boat. I have two lights on each side of the rear of my trailer, one on the trailer and a higher one on the galvanized trailer guide-on from Cabela's. I want excellent visibility when I am trailering this boat from Ct. to Florida on the I-95.
    I like the extra height your guide-ons provide.
