We put the lower sheet metal shroud in place that holds the parking lights. That went on just fine. The reproduction parking lights we bought from Ames, however, are a problem for three reasons.

1. The three sheet metal screws that hold the housings to the lower shroud will not clear the holes in the plastic lenses. The holes in the plastic are not large enough. I tried putting the lenses over the housing and putting that same three screws over the lenses as you can see in the pictures, but I know that's not right. Enlarging the holes in the plastic lenses is a possibility, but once I do that, return would be unlikely. Also I'd be worried about the drill catching and destroying the lens. If I do enlarge them, I'll find a hole saw that size to lower the risk of damage.

2. The electrical connections for the parking light socket are unique. I've never seen a plug that would fit over the prongs behind the socket. If such a socket is not available, I'll have to use stab-on connectors and waterproof the rear of the socket as well as possible. Not a good solution.

3. The bulb sockets are for 1157 bulbs. It is nearly impossible to put the bulb in and turn it to lock it in place. I was able to get a bulb in one of the sockets, but not the other. This may be OK if I apply dielectric grease to the bulb base and socket to lower friction.

I'll call Ames tomorrow to see if they have any answers for the parking lights. It's disappointing that parts that cost so much don't fit.
