tail lights, what is this?

[GARYSCC]

Hi, my patrol came with this accessory light. Where does it attach to vehicle? Also, each hole for the rear brake lights seems to have a smaller offset circle as shown in pics. Is this original or done by the previous owner?

The 'accessory' light is actually the tail light for a '69 Patrol. I'll take it if you don't want it.

The round holes for you tail lights have been cut larger to accommodate different tail lights. The hole in the upper left of the cutout was the hole for your original tail lights. You can see the smaller holes around it which were for the mounting screws. Do you have a set of original tail lights? They are extremely hard to find. That may be your deciding factor for patching the hole back there.

One huge plus that you have is that you don't seem to have any cancer rust around and below the tail lights. That area is notorious for rotting out. You found a nice one.

Thanks, yeah it is definately rust free. I judt attached the two lights that came with the patrol that fit the larger holes, and cover smaller holes.

Those are tail lights from a '69. That's the first time I've ever seen where someone used those style lights mounted in the body.

Hmm. What do u think I should do?

Go with what you've got.
