Can anyone please tell me if the chrome bezel of 52 tailight is the same physical size as that for a 54? Can the lenses be interchanged?

Thanks

Yes they're the same but don't wreck 52 taillights to make 54 taillights

Yes that probably can be done there's a little trick I'm taking the bulb holder out of the bezel so you can change the lens The reason why I said that it's cause I don't see that you have a 52 just a 54
