What would you call this bit??
I'm looking at adding some external auxillary LED lights to my bumper and rather than cut holes in the steel to mount them would like to fit them in a plastic enclosure so I only need to drill holes for wires, but what would the enclosures be called and where would I get them...if three is such a thing?

An enclosure or frame where a light fitting would be located, is normally called a - "nacelle".0 -
If I were you, I'd check the Lighting Regs first.
You can't just add lights, as and where feel like it.
There are rules on quantity, placement, power and colour.0 -

The Philips lamps are good quality, come with all parts required, are in enclosures and reasonably easy to fit. the control unit senses voltage in the side light circuit and switches them off when the sidelights are turned on.0 -
