Hello All,
I have a 1987 R10 with a factory rear step bumper. The previous owner was attempting to fix the non-functioning license plate lights and went so far as to dismount them and leave them hanging from their power wire through the holes in the bumper -- I want to reinstall them as they were from the factory.
While I'm sure there is a simple explanation, I can't seem to figure out how they mount(?) I see that the cover is affixed to the light base by way of 2 sheet metal-type screws (which holds the lens in place too against the gasket), but those screws are much smaller than the holes in the bumper. Are there clips? A backing plate? Or, what holds the light assemblies in place in the bumper?
I bought some new factory style step bumper license plate light assemblies from LMC, but they look just light the factory originals -- with no obvious way to mount them in the bumper.
I'll take some photos of my actual truck soon, but so that you all have a visual to explain what I'm talking about, I have attached a photo of a generic square body with a step bumper --- the arrow shows one of the light locations I'm talking about.
Thanks in advance,
-Jeff
