===Part 2: Preparation of the fairing===  


If you are familiar with these flushmounts, you already know that the bulb socket is tilted in a manner that requires a small section of the fairing to be cut away. There are rubber bases provided with the signals that go between the fairing and the flushmount. These provide nice templates for the section that will need to be removed. Holding the base in place, use a scribe/pencil/Sharpie to mark the outline of the section that needs to be removed.

Please note that the baseplate design has changed since these photos were taken. The newer ones look like this, and involve a simple circular cut of your fairing.
