I changed mine out (like yours) 8 years ago when I had to replace the bumper cover and have not had a reason to re-install the backup lights.

I modified the lens receptacles so that they would sit absolutely flush within the fiberglass on the custom rear end. This involved me cutting off an inch or so off of each of the receptacle stand-offs. I also painted the outside and rim of the holders flat black, so no white was visible with the lenses installed. Last, The holders are all mounted with the same orientation (just me being ****).
It's a nice clean look and works well with the custom rear end.

I purchsed two extra pigtails wired them into the tail light harness. The lenses look stock. LEDs are brighter and safer than the old lights. The reverse lights are in the license plate frame. Four tail lights look alot better than two. They should all have four tail lights like the 68's! They look better!
