Mounting Radions ?

So for those who have these Radions in hand, how are you mounting them? I'm a little confused about the whole, "yes they come with a mounting kit" and "no they don't come with a mounting kit". So are people MacGyvering something? I read something about eyelets? What's that about?

you must have seen that aqua digital post huh, i honestly think if someone sells someone something they should be fully informed on what they are getting and how it works...its like buying a car and the guy says oh yes theres brakes and then when you get your car your told you have to pay for pads extra.....

While I agree that yes, if you say you are going to sell something you should be selling that something, that's not the point of this thread. I just want to know what people are doing to mount these bad boys :-)

Does ecotech provide (at an extra cost) the hanging kit even? Or is the user supposed to provide their own rig?

the units come with four black screws, these screw into the top of each unit for you to use for hanging. I went to home depot and grabbed 30' of 1/16 wire and some wire crimps and went to town. Problem is, adjusting the lights after crimping means wiring a whole new setup

Yes, they do provide a wire hanging kit for an additional $45 each unit

Ah okay, so there are eye screws provided so that you can string your own wires or yarn to hang them.
