• Heat-resistant housing: The shell is made of heat-resistant plastic, which helps the lamp hold up to the engine bay and roofline temperatures over time.

• Water resistant build: The assembly is rated for exterior use and resists moisture intrusion when installed with the supplied hardware and adhesive tape.
• Simple installation: Strong adhesive tape and included hardware allow the unit to be fitted with basic tools and no body modification.
