Curious how you ran the LED and wires through the blower ducts to wire it up? I looked at doing the same with some left over LED strips I had but noticed it was sealed up pretty good. That housing looks great btw!
On the plug light, I have a similar one and it also only tightened a few threads. At first I used thread tape but it had a slow leak, so I dabbed on some rtv sealant and it seems to work good so far. I just tighten as much as I can but it hasn't failed in about two months of having it on there.2017 Moomba Craz

Sounds like the plug light has straight threads and pile thread. Thats a bad match.

I ended up putting an o-ring in there and was able to tighten it really well. We will see if it leaks this weekend. You are correct MLA, straight threads.
As for the wiring to the Moomba light. I drilled a small hole in the plastic housing and ran the wires through that. I didn’t come up through the exhaust hose. I taped a wire sheath around the wires so they don’t rub through the plastic coating on the wires themselves. We will see how long the tape lights stays. That 3m tape is pretty good, but I am expecting it to delaminate at some point down the road.

Just ordered the 20w plug light , I’m glad I saw your posts about the fit. Is there any concern about the thread difference damaging the existing threads ?

Sorry, I am wrong on the straight thread. It is 1/2” NTP, which is the the same thread pattern as the plug. It threaded in just fine. It is not tapered at the end like the stock plug and the threads could have been a little longer to get the plug light to seat tightly before hitting the plug housing. For added precaution, that is why I added a rubber o-ring in. It feels solid to me and I do not expect it to leak and definitely not unscrew. I will report back after this weekend.

Not underwater yet. I hope to be out late enough Friday night to see how it looks.

What/where do you plug the light into to power it? I have unused auxiliary switches on dash but no idea how to connect light to power it.
