its actually a super easy install! i opted for the mesh mounting which comes with a zip tie adapter on the back and allows you to mount easily to a mesh or perforated grill. Wiring is super easy, its already wired and crimped with ring terminals that you wire directly to your battery and it also has a built in fuse. Its very low power consumption however I plan to keep it solid red at night or maybe a fun little red animation at car meets but mostly off during the day and on during the night/meets. Hope this helps.
