I did the same as Bill. Although not on a Malibu. The trickiest part was getting to the spare switch terminals. From there, I ran wire to the engine compartment to a fuse bus that allows future expansion of other LED upgrades. I got the wire, crimp connects and marine fuse bus from boaters world for minimal price. I all ready had the soldering kit for extra strong crimp reinforcement. Drilling the holes in the transom ended up being much less of a problem than i thought. One lesson learned. Before sealing fixture with 3m 4200 sealant, mask every area to protect from oversqueeze and smearing. When they say "fast cure" they mean it. Hope the experience of a true amateur helps.
