If the 162-1 Roadmaster base plate kit you are currently using is an XL kit, which I believe it is, then all you will need to set up your 2001 Oldsmobile Alero is a Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, part number 194-3.

If you need wiring for the Alero you can choose either, part number 38955, tail light isolating kit which will wire to the vehicles tail lights, and you will need a converter # 118158 since your Alero has separate turn and brake lights or you can use the, part number RM-155, light kit with bulbs which will use a separate bulb in the tail light housing and will not cause a problem with factory warranty, but will require the room in the taillight for the bulb to be mounted.

I have posted links below to the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, part number 194-3 and the wiring options mentioned above.
