Why is it Amazon cannot get anything correct. They are not CREE 'chips', they are CREE SMD's as in surface mount devices.

kind of pulling at straws here. smd's are classified as chips.

Thanks for all the input! I went to the battery for the power. Works great!

That's what I call a light. Very Nice.

Any ideas on how to mount the switch? It is the vertical rectangular type, so not a simple round hole to drill into the dash. I have it secured with cable ties, and that is ok for now.

I think I would be tempted to replace that rectangular switch with a SPST toggle switch which uses a simple round hole. Then mount it on the dash or bracket. I am assuming that the switch is single pole, not double pole. You can get a really good toggle switch most anywhere - or Amazon. Might cost $5-$10.

It uses a relay so three wires. No sure why a relay is needed but followed the directions.

Switches will burn up not made for many amps
and the relay can take a lot more amps than a
switch so use a relay if you don't want to keep
replacing a switch. You will find that almost all
lights on vehicles require a relay for the above
reason.
