Freebeard: I was planning on just running the wire through the screw hole with the adhesive hopefully being enough to keep water tight.

OR, I could get a bolt that fits and attempt to drill a hole straight through it thats a tight fit for the wire. Or maybe get a hollow metal rod and die-it? (verb for using a die to put threads on, what is that?)

Upon further investigation the ends pop off:



If I did drill through the middle lens area then I can feed the wire through the mangled looking hole and out in between the two tabs on the end piece, which is exactly how it's done on the other side with the power wires for the brake lights. But if I dont get the hole into the lens sealed and it gets water in it will the LEDs burn out or would they be fine?

PS: I was just gonna get 2 circuit breakers for the fuses, one for panels and one for batteries. Do I need to get breakers specific for this or can I get a house one from lowes or similar?
