W/T grill with functional side markers.

Yep I made them light up. I had the wiring all ready thare since I converted to the W/T did have to change the plug style to a 90 degree and extend the wires. Also had to trim on the head light bucket for the adjustment.

Yep took two sets of side markers to get it right. There only $15 on Amazon so no real loss.

I cut the backs off of a set of side markers for an 68-72 pickups and then cut a hole in the back of the wt side marker. Then glued the back of the 68-72 side marker on to the wt sidemarker. Some mistakes whare made and had to move the socket down on the wt sidemarker to get it to clear the headlight adjuster tab on the headlight buckets wich I still had to cut some off of. Hers a picture of the first attempt at it. No light socket form 68-72 on it but you can get the idea. When I take my grill off to put different headlights in I'll take a picture of the backs of the ones that worked.
