71 Cutlass Trunk Light
Hi all. My 71 is missing the trunk light. Is it the same type as a 69 Cutlass? If anyone can post pics of one, that would be great. If anyone has one for sale, let me know what you want for it and what condition it is in. Thanks.

this is the trunk light that was installed on my 71 when I got it. the car was very unmolested so I have little doubt it is the one from the factory. the car has U25 LUGG CMPT LMP on the build sheet.
looks like the trunk area is next on my to do list

Thanks guys, I appreciate the information. I will call Fusicks, thanks Rob for sending along the page link to their catalog.
It looks like it should have an orange wire attached to it. I am surprised that they would reproduce it and not add the wiring?

Another question for you both (Rob & 71SX), did all 71 Cutlass Supreme's have the "Oldsmobile" lettering across the trunklid? I have seen pictures of other cars with this lettering but it is not on my car. I am not sure if my lid was replaced years ago and I looked inside the lid and do not see any filled holes.

IF you wanted the package WITH the wiring, the parts place has the whole kit for $125! I did not think the wire was worth $87 extra...
I do have the Oldsmobile lettering across the bottom of the trunk lid. Does your lid show signs of missing paint underneath it or is it lacking the jacking decals? If so, it may have been replaced before. I think mine had been replaced once, as the decals were missing with absolutely no sign of them ever being there... Also, there is evidence of a minor rear end accident on the bumper.

the bracket of the Fusick product is different from mine. mine just clips to the hinge support, no screws involved

Fusick has the trunk lettering, too.
