Canadian army taillights on a 463

So I have a set of Canadian army Gwagen tail lights that are a very nice robust light housing. I have been thinking about adding them to my G500.
A couple of years ago I swapped the rear bumper for 461 series Dutch army bumperettes and the larger reverse lights used on Unimogs and some military G wagens.

The tail lights can be added to a 460 with only small modifications to the opening. The 463 opening is a little different, but still very close in size.

I have ordered some laser cut adaptor plates that should be here in a week or so. These should cover the 463 hole with a cut out for the army version. All reversible if desired.

I received my proof of concept adaptor plates today. Excited to get them tested.
More info to follow.
