This photo showing the way you cut it out has saved me from making a possible mistake in cutting.

Oh, Oh, do you have the newer style which stand out away from the skin with no visible screws in the chrome ring? If so, the dog bowl would require some investigation as to fit and holes drilled into the ring. Mine is the older recessed light with a flat chrome ring around it with 3 screws. Those screws also hold the dog bowl on, as the lip of the bowl is exactly the same diameter as the ring.

And this link pulls triple duty:

1) shows old style light

2) Shows a night pic of the dog bowl at night

3) provided for my stumbling across who came up with the dog bowl idea....forum member "RLS"

How did you mount it?
Screws? Glue?

I simply matched the screw holes in the retaining ring to the bowl flange. So the original screws hold the bowl to the skin, with the original ring sandwiched between. Sikaflex was used between all surfaces.
