Electricial lights in vinyl siding.

I am having vinyl trim put around my eaves. There are two existingfloodlights. I noticed when the installers removed the existing lightsfrom the box and left the wires connected and the light hanging. Theycut about an 1.5 in hole in the siding and that was it. The light wasthen screwed in to the vinyl with one Sheetrock screw.I told them that an extension ring was needed to extend the existingbox thru the vinyl and mount the fixture on that. They said that theynever do houses like that. Most of houses they do, he says, don't evenhave a box. The electricians just run a wire out through a hole.I can't believe that someone that installs this stuff daily can get bywith mounting light fixtures with sheet rock screws.
