I will try to help. Mind you these dimensions are with the lenses on. All my lights are mounted.

From the top of the tail light bezel to the bottom of the reverse light bezel is 13/16". That is measure centered on the top tail light holding screw.

Total dimension from bottom of tail light bezel to top of reverse light bezel is 9 9/16".

Hope that helps.

@NVNATIVE thanks so much - it was actually my bus in the shop in need of some help so I appreciate the info - with your dimensions it was possible to make a template and get my lights back to stock!

If anyone should be reading this and need the template to perform this repair also PM Steve (cleanrides) or me and I can get you in touch

Thanks again
