I put a 20 inch down there and it wasn't hard at all. Maybe 5 minutes to mount the light and then the rest was just wiring it how I wanted it.

30" I think only certain years you have to make a notch in the frame.

You can do it for $150 max if you use a "no name brand".

Off of the fuses it runs to the relays for each of the lights.... From the lights it's running through tubing through the firewall and the switches are mounted where the ashtray was..
