I finally got around to removing the monstrosity hanging off the back of the Sequoia (before picture below, after picture will be posted when I take one or two and post to the photo site).

So I had to correct the "relocation" of the license plate light. The wires for the one in the storage box were poked through between the original fixture and the body. A PO reconfigured the Onan compartment, and there was no access to the light from inside, so I took the fixture out from the outside.

The "rivnuts" were turning in the fiberglass, and when I pried the light out, they took some fiberglass with them.

The light is not in very good shape, and the wire to the bulb broke right at the socket.

So two questions:

1. What's the cheap and easy way to patch the holes where I pulled out the rivnuts?

2. Is the fixture one that is readily available, or is there a call to Jim K in my future?
