70-71 Duster Tail Light Install

[SpeedThrills]

I changed my 74 Dart Sport into a 70-71 Duster.
The body panel is installed. I have the light housings and the sheet metal brackets that get welded in.
My problem is, I’ve never seen how they look installed. Anyone have pictures of installed lights, or could you send me somewhere that would?

Hope it helps a bit

Thanks, John. Nice build.
It does. I didn’t know there are “covers”, or I guess, a shield of sorts. Mine’s not a resto, I just want the lights to stay in! I need to see how the metal brackets are placed.

I got the lights in. Here’s what I ran into, if anyone searches this.
These two pics show where I had to clear the original dart sport braces to allow the duster brackets to fit.

This pic shows how I clamped it in before welding.

It wouldn’t work for a car that has to be “correct”, but for this project, it’s fine.
Otherwise, I just had to open the hole in the body panel some to fit the tag light grommet.

Just have to organize the wires. Harness from the dart sport worked on the duster.
Don’t look at my crap welds!
