It appears correct with the plate holder and two single filament bulbs. I have not been able, yet, to find another unit for the other door.
How have you solved the problem of getting the proper lights on the back? The rear doors will not clear mounting much on the bumper.

I have a left and right, ready to reassemble. The other option is some bullet lights on the side. I also have two earlier model lights that mount the traditional style lights. I don't want to look too modern, but the older lights aren't really lighting my fire in the looks category.
The door mount AD style with the bullets lights for turns may be what I end up with. Still working this out in my head.

Much brighter than original 6v bulbs - as bright as 12v LED bulbs. | | |
