I have two slightly different turn signal bullets on my '56. The one on the left of the image is original (has og paint inside) the one on the right has a few differences; it has a triangle shaped hole at bottom, the curve is a bit different and it is slightly longer.

Is this from another vehicle or just a bad replacement piece?

Thanks.

You need to copy the link of the picture, rather then the link of the site the pic is on :) Easy way to do that, is click on the picture once and a new link will open with only that picture. Copy that link.

The one on the right may be a Type 2 bullet housing. It is curved differently from the Type 1 and is slightly smaller. When you try to install the seals and it fits loosely, you'll know that the housing is Type 2

Thanks for the info, that's what I figured.
I've always wanted a bus with bullets, I'll have to hang on to it.

i was told a few years back that a triangle on a bullet was for a type 2. L227vw is on point w/ the answer.
