- July 07, 2016, 19:34:12 PMThe backing plates for the '59 lights will fit just inside the diameter of the stock light bucket. If you drill new holes in the '59 backing plates, they will bolt right into the stock buckets with some appropriate sized screws. Then the '59 lenses screw to the backing plates. I used a bracket on each side, custom bent to fit, running from the bottom screw on the '59 lense, over to the bolt on the Drifter bumper cover (assuming you have a 2001 or later). I made this from about 1/2 or 3/4 wide aluminum flat stock. This stiffened up the lights a bit.
There are a few pics on this thread:

I've read a couple of posts about making a bracket to help support the weight & keep horizontal. How did you actually mount the new light fixture to the turn signal housing? Once again, thanks for your help. Mike
