I am in the process of re-fitting standard tail lights, as my Cabby came with aftermarket ones.
Do all the bulbs and fittings need changing, as the guy who is looking at this for me says the existing bulbs on there are not fitting the new standard tail light?
Many thanks!

You will need the full pressed steel lightboard into which the spade connectors and lamps all fit. I've just changed mine and all advice you've had to date is correct. The lamps/bulbs are different and without the lamp holder section you can;t fit the original lights. All you have there is the lens.
You'll need to get the lamp holder section to replace the lights. Definitely.

Thanks for the advice Looks like I need to place a 'wanted' ad for the lightboard then.
