Take the light assembly off the bracket. 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.

I bought a set and couldn't figure it out either so don't feel bad. Didn't ask questions either. Still have them if anyone would care to make me an offer.

Well at least now I dont feel that bad it now . 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

Just a guess, but I bet the other end floats in the hole drilled in the bedside. 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.


Current fleet (subject to change w/o notice)
\'49 GMC 3/4-Ton , 60 Austin Healey Frog-eye Sprite (some assembly required), 2011 Dodge Avenger, 2015 Jeep Cherokee. No, they don't all run.
My other ride is a (B737)no, (B767)no, A320.... Update... was Embraer E190, now Boeing B787.

I mounted mine under the bed using one of those rubber covered Adell clamps. Holds it nice and secure so it doesn't flop around. I'll post some pix of it as soon as I can take some.
