2. I found it much easier to install by shaving down the bottom "ridge" on the new light. Took an extra minute to do.
3. Have a steady hand with the rotary tool and take your time. It was my first time using one and it came out perfectly; I just didn't rush anything.
4. Move the rubber gasket out of the way on my new light to trim the plastic closer to the edge (you'll understand this when you see what you're working with).
Enjoy! And good luck!

Glad to hear your install went well!!
