Technical Help with 42-48 Buick tail lights

So I’m using these on my A coupe. The bezel and lens are repos but the backing plate is original.
Does anyone have pics of this assembly complete so I can figure out what I need to do to restore them.
Pics are all the pieces I have. I pieced it together the way I think it might go together. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

 

Back up

 

I wish somebody would repro those.. ( Spell check put report instead of repro, got to proof read everything these days)

 

Dino, when I have a moment to get back to my shop, I will get you some pics.

 

Thanks ^^^^^

Must be a West Coast thing

 

.......I'm guessing he meant to say, " repro "

 

You have everything but the bulb sockets, which are deep and just the glass bulb sticks through the holes in the backing plate. A single filament goes in the raised hole and a dual filament goes in the round end.

 

Thanks @BJR, so the raised one is the blinker ?
Do the two clips hold the socket on the larger round hole ? Not the raised one.
Thanks very much

 

Yes the raised one is the blinker. Each socket has it's own spring clips like your pictures, the raised one needs the clips re bent to hold the socket in. But you could get sockets that snap into the holes and not use the spring clips. You can also make either holes the blinkers or both just by getting double filament sockets, or moving them around.

 

Thanks BJR, Appreciate the help

 

Also paint the reflector side white for more light.

 

Good advice, thanks ^^^^

 

Thanks for the pics !!! Appreciate you taking the time to post them. Now it all makes sense !
Thanks

If you scroll down to "Group 2" you'll find some replacement sockets. They're different than OE but they'll work.

 

Hey, that’s great, I was trying to find parts online with no luck. Looks like you have lots of extra parts too. Thanks again

 

I do have some extras. I had rough ones, at first, then came across good chrome single, then another, and now I have enough to make myself a nice set for my coupe. I haven't yet gotten as far as fitting sockets and wiring, yet.

Here is my back panel on my A coupe.

 

Cool !! Here’s mine

 

See correction on my thread.

 

@Dino 64 Do you have any pictures from the backside on how you mounted these to the lower panel? Picked up a set this past weekend and curious on how people are running these.

Thanks!

 

The black brackets hold the assembly on the body, one is a simple u shape, the other is like the toe of a shoe that holds the end. These are original parts, no repo’s that I know of.
