Which FHP deck lights are correct by bolt holes?
Trying to figure out which deck lights were correct for my '90 and '91 FHP's. They both have sideways screw bolt hole patterns, about 4" apart.

Most likely Dashmasters. This is NoDrama's '93

I've never seen a pic detailed enough to be able to make out the mounting bracket, heck, I am almost positive on other pictures of the dashmasters there was no visible bracket at all! Did NoDrama fabricate those? Maybe I'm crazy. I need to measure the distance and get someone to confirm it that has some. This is sounding good however, because I like the look of those lights the best, or the round federal/tomars. The Federals are a little big for the size of the deck.

The FHP fabricated those in house. It's a 3/4 in piece of flat aluminum screwed to the bottom of the light and then screwed to the deck. Jim had the imprint of the strap on the deck cover and copied it. My car had them mounted with a carriage bolt through the deck.

Just curious too - what was the actual spacing of those Dash Masters once mounted to the rear decks?
Meaning, how far from the C-pillar and how far from the 3rd brake light on the 87-93 FHP SSP's? Was there an actual standard measurement used by the FHP, or were these just sort of "eye-balled" when mounted?

I've seen them all different ways. Some closer to center some closer to the third brake light. It all depended on the installer. The only thing holding the ones on my car was the deck material not metal.

It seems like it was at the installers discretion, basically "put two of these lights in the back, facing rearward" kind of thing. All of the cars I've inspected (that had dashmasters) had the sheet metal screw holes through the package tray metal, two on each side, making restoration accuracy easy. My '92 has the D-shaped federal/tomar footprints with the single, larger hole. I don't remember for sure if they went through the metal or just the material.
Judging by all the pics I've seen, 87-89 cars didn't have deck lights.
