I now have both a sample lamp - graciously supplied by Daniel Stern
Lighting - and the plastic grille sample graciously supplied by Kim Brennan.

I was ready to take them over to the plastics supply house that is going
to run them for me, but discovered that the lamp from DS, while a very
excellent lamp which includes  built in direction adjusters - has a
connection point that sticks out significantly on the back of the lamp.
To put the assembly together as is - ie, without modifying the plastic
grille piece, requires that a hole about the size of a quarter be cut
into the front sheet metal in order to accommodate the protruding connector.

My question is - what is everyones feeling about that hole as part of
the price of having these very nice grille extensions with adjustable
fog lamps?

I would like to hear from everyone who has an opinion.

List Vendors - please respond also, with your view as to how that will
impact later sales when people learn they have to cut a hole to make it fit.

Responses most appreciated.

Thanks,

Regards,
