Hi

I just change both L&R rear taillight

1) You have to order new Uplander tailight to Steve Palombi http://www.mileaautogroup.com/
Part number : #15787131 left and #15787132 $54 each.

2) Install new one
- remove old taillamp by unscrew the two screws
- unplug harness
There are "studs" that stay in the Uplander tail light assembly but not at the same place than original.
You have to drill 2 holes for the news studs. It's very easy to do.
Just install the new tailight by srewing the 2 srews but not tight : the two studs are showing were to drill :

You can see 2 holes now. Dont for to aplly Frameto or any prodcut againd rust.

3) Modifing wiring
There are 4 bulbs on the original assembly but 3 for the Uplander one
I choose this solution :
1st : bulb backup
2nd : Tail - stop
3rd : Turn
