I planned to use a motion detector with the two flood lights centered
above my garage door. I started cutting thinking I would put a plastic
box behind the metal siding inside the garage. However, being centered
it is over a raised rib where two panels meet and it looks like I made
a mess. It was hard to cut and I just stopped. Any ideas on how to
properly mount this light and make it look ok and not leak?

What would hold this to the metal siding?

How would I mount a box on top of this? WIll all this look right. I am so frustrated right now but i have already made a cut and am committed.

Is there a difference between a "wet" location box and an "outdoor" box? The one I bought says wet location, is white with two mounting ears on it for a screws to go through. I think it is metal or aluminum. It has 5 acress points that screw into the sides.

That is the box I just bought but it is white. Although, for th elights I have a separate unit because I wanted it motion activated.

Will the motion activatied ones look/fit ok on the box?

One more dumb question. I bought galvanized lag screws to screw that box onto some wood behind the corregated metal. Would it be better to have stainless screws?
