I got new lights & brackets & conduits. I put everything together and cant figure it out Thanks Todd Some people are like Slinkies, Their not really good for nothing...

Slide the conduit in through the round hole in the bracket. There is one end of the conduit that has a flange on it. That sets in the hole of the bracket. When you put the light back on it will hold it in there. Somebody else will have to fill you in on the other end. Haven't figured that part out yet.

The chrome conduits would look sweet but It looks like it will be some nice black heat srink instead "Its all about the detail" nice n clean Thanks Todd Some people are like Slinkies, Their not really good for nothing...

If the hole is snug, the conduit shouldn't move too much. If required, a tie-wrap around the end under the bed will keep it from coming out. The springy ones for doors are only secured at one end.
