Parts are now showing up and am starting the Lucas rear tail light install. The following is an informal poll to those that have opted for the NON-plug and play Lucas tail light. There are many ways to skin this cat but thought I would seek advice from those that have been there. Snowy provided some excellent advice which maybe a bit more invasive then some prefer with fender drilling. It seems many move the Lucas light well up on the rear fender to better cover the bottom two fender holes which some plug with rubber sheet metal hole plugs.
Snowy suggests drilling 3 new holes in the rear fender...new top hole approx. 2 inches above the existing top hole in the fender.
What have you guys done? For those that didn't want to move the light up and therefore use the existing fender top hole, aren't now the two bottom holes more noticable next to the light? Since I am mounting my rear signals off the shock mounts, I believe I will need to move my light up to cover the bottom holes as best as possible.
Suggestions?

PS: There is one added benefit to better covering the bottom two holes when moving the Lucas light up on the rear fender. The shape of the bottom of the Lucas light now better conforms to the radius of the rear fender.
