Tail lights bezel and caped nuts location help

[Gary Kitchens]

I am reinstalling the tail lights and tail light basil and I need to know if anybody knows where the four domed nuts go inside the trunk. There’s four of them they’re about 3/4 of an inch tall with the small 8 inch dreads inside and they go somewhere because they came out of the boxthat all of the trunk panel parts were placed into one piece is missing.

I think those are for the side markers

The 4 acorn nuts go on the side marker lights. With fresh paint grounding can be an issue.

I am already aware of the grounding issues for all of the lighting and I have remedies for that and dielectric grease,

 

[Katfish]

Dielectric grease is an insulator, and not conductive.
That's why it's usually packed in the firewall connectors to keep out water.

It also helps electrical connectivity.

 

[Katfish]

That's a common misconception, it does the exact opposite.

What The Heck is Dielectric Grease?

 

[Gary Kitchens]

Die- dead- electric. No paseo?

 

[Gary Kitchens]

Dielectric grease primarily functions as a non-conductive, waterproof sealant for electrical connections, preventing corrosion and maintaining proper electrical performance. It's often used on battery terminals, spark plugs, and other connectors to create a barrier against Contaminants.
