Backdating Taillights 1990 LE to 1989
Hi all,
Just got through swapping taillights on my 1990 Bonneville. Having been unable to locate another 1990 LE, I finally found a set of 1989 tails from es_bob.
Putting them on wasn't a problem, however the middle marker bulb on the '89 uses a housing that is the same as the backup bulb, so I had to come up with an extra pair of bulb holders and splice them in in place of the original clip holders.
End result:

Is it has good mechanically than esthetically?
Anyway, Florida seems a good place to live long for an old Bonnie!
Cost me a little fortune to restore the youth on mine (running in Quebec winters since 198

I can vouch for the mechanical condition of Curt'* '90. It is in great shape for it'* age, but then IIRC it was previously owned by the proverbial little old lady.
