For anyone interested, the taillights are not even close to being interchangable. I took a few pictures last night while I did the test fit.

This first picture is kind of hard to tell but I was trying to show just how much skinnier the Raider lights are on the Dakota.

The second pictures shows the cross member behind the Dakota light that the Raider doesn't have so it won't let the light go into place.

The third one shows how far off the Dakota lights are on the Raider.

Here are a few more pictures.

The first one shows how far off the Dakota light is on the Raider when it is sitting flush where the tailgate latches.

The second one is just another one of how far aff the lights are.

These next two are the two lights next to eachother and how much wider the Dakota lights are from the Raider.

Dang!!!! I wish these woulda worked!

 

Or, maybe... we could swap truck boxes with a Raider!!!!

 

haha there ya go, if you cant swap just the tail lights, heck just swap out the entire bed box!

 

It'd fit. It's got the same frame as the Dakota, assuming everything bolted up right... why not do it ya know?
