Wanting to try and be unique with as many parts as possible I designed my own interior lights instead of buying some silly stuff from a spares shop. The inside of the car will maybe get two with one towards the front and one towards the rear. In the trunk I'll install one on each side of the trunk.
The first pic shows the lense (transparent blue perspex) and the two parts that make up the bezel (stainless steel).
The second pick shows part of the bezel's backplate which is 2mm thick. I tapped the small holes to a M4 thread and then touched them with a larger drill bit to give them a slight counter sink.
I then took some M4 machine screws of which I cut off the heads. I screwed them into the bezel backplates so that they sit at the bottom of the counter sink area as can be seen in the third pic. This will allow for enough of the welding to stay behind once it's ground off. I'm welding the 'studs' in place to ensure they can't come out.
