Where can I find two of the small OEM back up lights for a 1968 CJ5? Thanks --Derral--

Are there differences between the CJ5 backup lamps and the FSJ version? The part numbers are different, but the lamps themselves look the same to me. I've been fortunate to acquire two NOS Kaiser backup lamp kits over the years, both for FSJs and they come with a big rubber insulator as well, which I haven't seen identified in any of the TSMs. I haven't seen the insulator used on any of the early jeeps I've come across either, CJ5 or FSJ.

IIRC some of the early wagons used that light.
The J-trucks with the single wall bed (pre-73) used them.
I would guess the only difference is in the cable and plug.
The current aftermarket parts come with bare wires.
Dunno about the insulator on FSJs - there is a '62-73 parts book on the Tom COllins site.
My '74-80 parts book shows the insulator present for the Intermediates and for '74-76 Thriftsides.
The Thriftsides used a bracket that accepts both the Intermediate rear lights.
The backup light bracket looks like a mod to the original Thriftside part, spot welded on to the taillight bracket.

I just used these from Kaiser Willy’s. (Not original for 1966) Hooked up to a switch.
