The light source may be directly hardwired into the vehicle power system or independently powered and controlled. The module may be made to fit any type of vehicle or, alternatively, a bezel may be made to support the module. Such a bezel would be compatible with a given vehicle with mounting points and methods according to the underlying structure.
