Could you please provide some idea of dimensions of the light? Also, if it is possible a photo or sketch of how the light would have been fitted to the diff?
After being told about the diff lights on this forum I went under my truck and found a couple of clips at the top of the diff case that probably held the wires in place as it led to the diff light. I imagine that the diff lights would be one of the first things to go once the trucks hit civilian life as only the clips are left on my truck

Has anyone got a photo of a 1940 Chevrolet rear stop/tail light to see if mine is original? My light has a round chrome case with a deep, deep red lens.

Kind Regards
Lionel

Will try to measure up on Monday, John.

The measurements for the Diff. Light are tube length 3 1/4 ins. Diameter 1 5/8. as has allready been said, the light and switch are fixed on the chassis or the rear cross member so that the light shines forward onto the White painted dif, or in the case of a trailer , onto a white painted plate. The picture on here is the light fixed onto my Jeep. It is rather misleading because the pic appears to show it closer to the Dif than it is, hope this helps. The wiring for this light is on its own circuit for convoy blackout lights and not linked to the main lighting circuit. John.PS attachments are US at this time, will try later.
