Bob, Watch that wire loom when screwing in the left tail light. I didn't see it when I did mine. OOPS

Bob,

You don't have to cut into the coach wiring if you just soldier the LED leads into a taillight socket. See this from the GMC East site:

We find that cutting the reflector is not as desirable as part of the
update is the shiny reflective backing and also moisture sealant.

Bob, You can purchase just the outside red lens from the modern van for $100 from Pete Peck, in Maryland. Then, all you have to do is remove the old lenses and screw on the new lenses. Upgrade to LED at your leisure. That's what I did.
Plus, LED inserts that were designed for a complete replacement of the bulb system. Company in Raleigh, N.C. makes them. Don't recall the name of the firm, but they fit and work perfect. At this point, no one can say that they did not see the stop lights.
