Careful it's not too bright though, that would be a bad thing, especially where you want to put it.

ditto jimboXR4x4

ts actually round, so the top left corner of it has to have some plastic "added" to it to make it square. mine looks quite good unless you look closely

however that green light on it is fookin annoying, i need to take it off and stick some tape over it to stop it shining thru
