Tips on Installing Tail
Light Pocket and
License Plate Pocket
1.
Drill
1" holes in center of tail light pockets for light bulb socket. Grind or
file notches to match plug.
2.
Test
fit back/up light assembly and mark where pocket needs to be cut for B/U lights
to fit. Cut areas marked and trim until assembly fits.
3.
Mark
and cut openings in tailgate or rollpan for pockets. You will have to cut away
a large enough hole on the inside of the tailgate to work through.
4.
Grind
or sand a 3" wide area around cuts on inside of tailgate. Fit pockets
through panel. Use small amounts of
fiberglass re-enforced bondo to hold in place.
When satisfied with location, use fiberglass and resin to bond in place.
5.
Trim
or grind front of pockets to match contour of rollpan or body. Use body filler
to finish out.
6.
Cut
hole for license plate light and install.
7.
If
possible, leave flange on front of pockets until they are attached with
fiberglass from the rear. This helps prevents the pockets from warping.
8.
Use
1157 or 2057 bulbs for taillights and 1056 for backup lights.
