Default Re: Adding ritght side tail light

This is an easy one. Using construction paper and tape, make a templet surrounding the three sides of the drivers tail light bracket and run it up against the quarter panel. Continue the construction paper along the edge where the fender and quarter panel meets to the bottom of the fender. Using this method requires no cutting of the paper.

The trick is to pick a reference point along the left quarter panel. For example, I used the point where the fender meets the bottom of the quarter panel on my coupe. Use the same reference point on the right quarter panel. All you will need to do is flip over the templet when lining up the right side. It is also very helpful to have the tail light gasket to place in the void of the templet for perfect hole locations. Absent a gasket, you can also place the new tail light bracket in the void and get the same results.
