| Not early Impala. They weren't recessed like those. And mid to late they are similar, but still not cigar. I have mid Impala's on mine. |

| Thanks for the tip, I think I found it based on the numbers on the lenses. Who would of thought of installing 63 Dodge Dart Station Wagon lights on a buggy? Oh well looks like a guy on the internet that goes by the moniker of "The Taillight King" has got one and yeah, he's quite proud of it......$75.00 snaps..ugh |

A suggestion:
The Impala lights, bezels included, are reproduced and available on the internet. They are also very close to your existing lights in size and orientation, and may be cheaper and even look better. |

Impala will be smaller, so if there is holes the hole might be too big. |
