Looking more closely at your truck, it seems that there is interference with the tailgate. Like the first time the tailgate was lowered, it crushed the housing, glass, and bulb. The "standard" was a white front bumper with no rear bumper. I'm not sure if these license plate brackets were factory or dealer installed. In your case, I would find some other light housing or maybe even a pair that you can mount on the bumper and either side of the license plate.
