Here's the side view of the custom stakepocket lights and the 'fattened' stakepocket. I just formed 16ga sheet into a 'U' shape (trying to keep the slight curve like the original stake) and tacked it up. Then cut and folded the top to fit under the rail. The bottom is three small pieces curved to fit to the (M-ARK)rollpan. I cut out most of the rear face of the original stakepocket so I had room for the new LED taillights. I got the lights
here .

Here ya go.... it's a little blurry because I had to resize from 1900X1700 to something like 350X300 pixels. I really need to learn how to use these picture editors better!!

nosto, thanks, and sorry for the late reply. I was away for a week and computer access was limited. I appreciate the pics, but I am still determined to get tail lights in the stock stake pocket. Thanks again.
