I installed two 7" stalk lights ($31/each) on the metal panel at the
front bottom of the upper berth.

The electrical wires for these lights run through the inside of this
overhead metal panel and then behind the long thin wooden trim panel
above the shelf that runs along the driver's side van above the kitchen
area.

I also installed using an aluminum plate an 18" stalk light ($42) just
aft of the pop top support bars where they attach to the bodywork above
the sink.

The electrical wires for this light slip behind the same wooden trim
panel mentioned above, meet the wires for the other two Hella lights, and
are connected to the van wiring at the electrical connectors hidden
behind the trim panel for the existing factory kitchen light.

No wires are visible, all are hidden away so the installation looks tidy.
