marker light question

[dmastr3665]

I have a 74 cuda that im trying to clone into a 71, I just bought a set of rear marker lights, then i bought patch panels to weld into the quarters to fit them, now i saw these mounting brackets, is this something I need or is there a way to put these lights in without these? thanks in advance for any info

You will need those brackets to hold the lights in place unless you can jerry-rig some homemade brackets...they also complete the ground circuit for the lights in 1970-71 unlike your 74 lights which have their own ground wire

Are you trying to do something special with the side markers or just un aware of the brackets on the 70-71 side markers ?

i guess il have to get them, i haven't ever seen what the 70-71 markers look like from the inside. i guess im just unaware of what i needed

You'll need four if you're doing the front lights too
