I am regrettably still out of town until mid-February, but will see what I can do about getting a picture to post once I return. I will say though that the "lip" on the socket section is a fairly soft rubbery compound that will easily slip into the backing plate and hold (because of the size of the lip on the new side marker light socket) once the opening in the backing plate is crimped around the new socket. Crimping the sleeve on the back of the original light fixture will prevent the new socket from sliding forward into the light opening.

I am running a 12-volt system for various reasons, so I am not certain about its application for 6-volt applications. Perhaps someone with more electrical knowledge than I could comment on this question? Thanks for your comments.
