Re: Tail light fuel filler
A few more. Don't forget though, you have to use LED tail lights, and I had to enlarge the light opening at the bottom to allow room for the lense to clear the bedside when opened, so I had to use trim around the opening to hide this. (see last pic) Also, be very careful when routing your tail light wires. I used a rubber grommet in the lower left corner or the lense backing plate. You can see the notch that I cut for the wires in the first and last pic. Here's a tip that I learned the hard way- When you get your hinge where you want it, spot weld the hinge nuts, (pic 2) and hinge screws that go through the lense backing plate. There is no way to reach them later.
