Last weekend I installed an extra marker lamp to rear of our BH. Its simple, get the lamp used on the GM 1ton under the tailgate. Remove the license plate holder, install masking tape above the Heartland decal over the lamp, find center of the decal and mark it. Next find the center of the lamp and mark it. Put the lamp over the decal and mark the screw holes. Cut off the retainers on the lamp off and cut the connector off the wires. Put the lamp in place and mark the hole for the wires to through. You will have to use a rat tail file to open the hole sideways. Do your wiring work at the license lamp, soldering is best, pull some wire though the hole you made in the cap and through the lic plate hole and connect. Install shrink type spade connentors on the lamp and new wires, just make sure that power and ground are correct before the lamp is installed. Install the lamp with stainless sheet metal screws. For you Ford and Dodge folks a GM part will not make the rear cap fall off. You could put the lamp under the lic lamp, I just put it up higher so the morons on the road could see it. Wish I knew how to post a picture of the finished lamp. Bob
