I have the same light on my '37 (singular, as in I only have the left tail light and do not have signal lights). Bartamos has described the set up correctly in terms of contacts and grounds. I would quibble slightly with his characterization of the soundness of this design, but ultimately he may be right. I have an original in rough shape (made by Guide), so I got a reproduction from one of our vendors. After having done 2 frame off restorations (close to stock as possible within reason), I have had my frustrations with foreign reproductions. That said, I must say this tail light is a very good copy of the original. My light has functioned perfectly for two years and 1200 miles. Yes, this truck is as close to a trailer queen as I dare, but it has seen it's share of dust with occasional wash without fail. If Phillipe wants to go this route I would not shame him. I was not aware that a reproduction for the right side was available, which would not have the tail light bulb protruding from the top like the left one, to light the license plate.
Philippe, I have attached a picture of my light so that you can see how the bulb lights the license plate. Your pictures display the lights upside down. I guess you could use a left light on the right, it would just stream a bit of light upward. Perhaps one could seal that hole with black painted aluminum foil and nobody would notice, except you.
