Altghough I agree the metal backing is not necessary it does make the job
easy and future inspections if needed easy too. Here in California there are
plenty of junk yards where one can find the metaql backing.

       There is no official place marked out for it but there is ample room
to install in the same location as the drivers side.  Just remove the
drivers
one, measure the hole and cut same size hole on passenger side.  Do not
worry
about the metal backing as used on the drivers side.  I've put them in
without the metal backing and it works just fine.  Run wires from passenger
side across the headliner to your new light.  Make sure you get the wires on
the correct terminals so the three switch positions work as they do on the
drivers side.
