The parts supplied in this stage will not be needed until the next two stages, so keep them nearby for now:

Retrieve your License Plate Lights, License Plate Light Glass, and Boot Lock parts from Stage 90. Note how the License Plate Light Glass parts have a long edge with rounded corners and long edge with square corners.:
Press the two pins of each License Plate Light Glass into the matching holes of each License Plate Light so the square corners of the Glass are facing the silver part of the Lights, as shown.

Thoughts
The rear of our Miura is coming along quite nicely! We will soon install the tail lights and even some brand decals as we complete the model. Keep the unused Rear Light Lenses nearby as they will be needed in the next stage.
