Tail light bezel holes
I have a really dumb question. What size diameter are the holes for the bezel?
The truck didn't come with the trim, so I'll have to drill. Anyone ever have to do that? Any advice? Thanks

Re: Tail light bezel holes
It means drill a hole between those 2 sizes. They are in decimal instead of fraction. See this chart for help in the future. Maybe print if off and put it in your toolbox or something.

Re: Tail light bezel holes
I drilled these holes myself just a couple weeks ago. Some what stressful on newly painted panels. I used a multibit which makes a much better (round) hole. (Irwin Tools) The 11/32 dia. is .343 size you need and worked great. I would like to give you a detailed how to of how I did mine but I just went for it and it turned out fine. Take your time!
