I purchased an old police car spot light at a swap meet and installed it on my van. I didn't take any "how to" pictures, but here are the finished ones. I mounted it actually on the door instead of the pillar and the collar mount is for a Caprice that has more laid back windshield so, the light kinda points down (as seen in the pictures) but that can be fixed by just rotating it. lol Having it at that angle actually helps with keeping the handle from getting it the way.
I'm not a big fan of measuring twice and cutting once. lol

Re: Spot light install
It's hard to get a night picture with a cell phone. But here's a picture of it on. :-)
It's like having a High Beam mounted on my door! Wait.... that's what it is. Makes it a lot easier to read numbers on mailboxes and houses when doing service calls.
