Compatibility
Note: left and right rear lights are NOT identical. The left light has a red service tail/brake lens at the top, the right light had in its original configuration a blackout brake light at the top with profiled cover. For restoration: check whether your vehicle requires early or late pattern.
Historical context
During WWII, standardised rear light assemblies were developed for all American tactical vehicles. The left light combined service and blackout lighting in one compact unit, where the red tail/brake light provided visibility under normal conditions and the blackout marker lights enabled safe convoy operations at night.
