With the new wiring system, many old features became new again, like this map light. The heat that the light bulb puts off will replace the heater that John removed during the clean up process!
Look Mom, no holes! As a certain someone was cleaning out the garage (which consists of throwing away everything not attached to the truck), he came across an old paper bag that came with the truck. Inside were these lenses for the light bezels (the rectangular lenses covering the truck's running lights). Who knew?
The running lights are actually working now that the truck has been re-wired, which was another reason why having the proper covers for them was so exciting.
This is the new tail light that we put in. John's been looking for one of these for a long time. This is a case where having a reproduction light has been better than having an original (Tracy was so happy that John didn't win the one he was bidding on via Ebay).
It's probably best not to mention how difficult it actually is to install one of these lights without breaking the glass lens.
After three attempts (numerous bulbs, a fuse, and a full dustpan of glass), it was literally time to "Stop!" the insanity. Luckily, the end result is worth it!

I recommend that you switch and let him read the instructions. While you install anything that is not to be dropped.
Anyway i love the tail light, and agree with you about a re-pop versus an original.
I was going for one of the arrow ones. A grody piece of ******and it went bezerk. To each his own but i'm not gonna get anal about crap. I like the new, and it comes 12 v.
