Thanks Big Blue 72, no LED just re-used the same factory socket and bulb set up. Yeah, after all the rust repair the original filler hole was covered with new sheet metal and I figured I'd either have to cut the new metal or go for a side marker or tail light filler. It seemed a shame to cut the new metal for some reason. The side marker filler idea didn't work due to a cross member under the floor in the wrong spot and the resulting filler tube angle required to over come that obstacle wasn't going to work. The tail light seemed to provide the easy path/angle to avoid a "slow drinker" at the pumps .
