There is a lot of confusion about tail light lenses for Scout II.<\/p>\n

The early design for Scout II tail lights was basically two parts. \u00a0A stamped and chromed metal bucket with two metal light bulb sockets crimped into place to hold the bulbs. \u00a0The red flat lens was screwed into the bucket. \u00a0If your lens is cracked broken or just fading to pink, you probably want to replace it. \u00a0This type was used from 1971 to 1977. You can find them here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It eliminated the bucket but required new special grounded sockets. \u00a0Scoutparts.com has a rebuild kit that replaces the sockets. You can find them here.<\/a><\/p>\n
