Here's a good comparison of the wiring harnesses. You see the additional nodes on the right picture. Those are for the
clearance lights. You will have to remove the passenger kick panel and really fight the plastic rivets behind the glove
compartment. They will finally give up the fight. You do not have to re-rivet the portion of the wiring harness that runs
down the kick panel. It can be very difficult to get your hands in there.
Next comes the very important part... measuring! Just trying
to find center on the weird shaped roof can be a challenge.
Once the center is determined we used the following
measurements:
• All lights 5.5" from windshield rubber to center of
plug hole of light. (7/8" hole)
• The lights on either side of center are 8" to hole
center
• The next lights out are 13" to hole centers.
| Ộ ----- 13"----- Ộ --8"-- Ộ --8"-- Ộ ----- 13" -----Ộ |
You can make a template out of nylon to make it very easy
to set the holes in the exact location. Then use a center
punch to indent for drilling. The tape is used to reduce the
flaking of the paint during the drilling process.
Then use a Knock Out (7/8") tool to make the center holes
for the lights. The outer holes for the studs are drilled to 1/4"
to provide some fudge room. Keep the shop vac hose handy
to vacuum the shavings as you go along.
