Default Question about a 74 Split tail

I have just installed a new tru fit fiberglass split bumper on my 74 and found that there is no where to install the tail lights. There are holes in the bumper for the lights, but no place to secure them. I was told the 74 bumper has some kind of brace for the lights, but can't find the braces in any catalog. I don't even know what the piece is called. Can anyone help with a little info? Thanks, Darrell

74 tail lights do not attach to the bumper. Look at the link above. These light mounts attach to the body and the rear steel bumper brace.

Ebay listing is wrong. '74 is one year only. Ebay item is probably 75-77.
