Pictures of parking light assemblies needed.

I'm looking for some pictures of the stock parking lights for a FAQ post.. I need front and rear of the lights, the sockets, and the stock grille opening for them.  All the ones I have, are modified somehow and none have the bulb holders/sockets. We've got plenty of pics on modifying them for two filament bulbs, but no good ones I could find in a quick search of stock sockets, etc.

This doesn't show everything but maybe it will be of some use. Let me know when you are done as I will probably remove them from Photobucket.

Thanks Ryan. I downloaded three of them I think.. Let me put a barebones FAQ post up before you dump them. Good shot of the assembled and disassembled backside, exactly what I needed!

No problem. If someone turns up with pics of a cleaner looking "specimen" I won't be offended if you don't use mine.

Could really use someone making reproduction panels of these sockets.  When I stripped my grill to get blasted I found bubba had cut out the originals and screwed in some other sockets from who knows where. . They are of course rusty and unrestorable.  Now I'm stuck trying to figure out my next steps...

If you have access to a lathe a set of dies to press out the funnel shaped part wouldn't be too hard to make, and a smaller hydraulic press would work fine for forming them from 18 ga steel.  You'd probably have to use a small die grinder to make the hole, after drilling a smaller hole.

Actually  a fine thread bolt thru the center of both pieces, same idea as a Greenlee knockout punch, might work too.

The hardest part will be welding them in without ruining the grille. A TIG or mig would be the easiest, and the best part is it will mostly be hidden behind the grille anyhow. the stock lights hide most if not all of the area in question.
