I like the interior LED lights. Not too sure about the outside light. I used the old heat vent for the scarelight, and I have the built-in porch light. Whats up with the mounted light outside?

The old porch light was shredded looked like penetrated with a screwdriver , my best guess.

The additional outside lights will help set up at night while not on a well illuminated campsite and give the campsite some illumination when wanted or needed.
Stuff that i wanted when i used and experienced my previous truck camper.

i was looking for some time onwhat would fit the build and could not find what i was looking for. SO they are home engineered from plumbing parts. Once the base is finished and painted you would never know [emoticon]

if wanted i can post pics

here are a few detailed pictures on the reading lights
they are not quite finished, still need to sand the base and paint the base black , add the visor - those led's are quite bright if you look directly into them

I used automotive 3w 12v fog lights, small rocker switch, and the rest is from the hardware store
