I just looked one more time. The only way I could figure to mount it would be with the light attached to the lid on the top smaller surface area and dangling by itself when opened. With our saddlebags, you would end up with a light that isn't shining in the bags at all. I'm sure they aren't making these things with no way to work, but from the illustration, I'm not sure how that's done. Oh well, I guess I'm just going to pass on these. I've gotten along without lights in my saddlebags for all these years...I think I can make it through the rest of life without them. I will be curious to see a photo of how they installed if you get them. Don't let me discourage you. There must be a way, or they wouldn't have made them.
