I just installed this garage door opener!

I have yet to clean up the wires and the big electrical opening needs a cover. It was the old light.

This thing has a awesome motion sensor LED on it so I dont need it anymore. With that being said I used it as a box to add 24,000 lumens of overhead shop lighting.

Now back to the Instructable.

Mount the zip onto the parking assist and adjust the mirror as needed.

Note: The lazer will now point all the way to the door if you need it to... Just incase you need to park outside...
