forget about toggle bolts, they are good but you can't unscrew them and redo them so you have to thread it all togeather befor installing them never to come apart again. there is a much better type which holds more than toggles and basicly only puts the thredded part in the wall so you can install/remove the bolts at will.

Yeah,

Your best bet is to look locally for the lights, to be honest I beleive the best prices I found within Canada were Ottowa Inverts, this was including shipping, bulbs, and everything.
