So after many years, this has now come up to the top of 'to do' list. My '72 Demon 340 has had a lot of incorrect year parts thrown at it, some by me but mostly from the previous owner(s). I don't mind that so much, it all goes together well. One surprise seems to be the rear bumper.

I've seen a couple of good pictures here that show what a 'correct' Demon rear bumper and License Plate Light should look like. In this picture of my '72, there are a pair of tabs which I have to assume are for use on a later Dart Sport/Duster (another change for the shock absorbing feature?)

Anyway, I've not yet been able to confirm the presence of the mounting holes in this bumper (behind the lic. plate) for the small bullit style bracket, but I also have no idea what the proper lamp assembly for this bumper would look like - or how it would fit on a '72 car.

Could anyone shed some light on this for me?

I have an original beat up 72’ Demon bumper with the light still attached pictures soon to follow.
 
Thank you very much. I should also mention the original hole for the wire/grommet in the body has been filled in, any photos of that from the inside would also help me alot...

those 2 bolt ears look like what my 67 model has. I know the lamp fixtures and mounting did change but I dont know at what years and models.

Zoom in where the cap on the yellow paint marker is that is where the hole for the wire and grommet for the plate light is.
 
I really appreciate the help, I'm going to go with the big plastic lens/bulb holder that mounts to the tabs and rework the connection, but I'll still need a bulb socket and pigtail...
