They appear correct since they have bullet housings.

| I’m noticing the two dimples in the passenger head light bucket so I have a good feeling that one is correct. The drivers however, I am having a hard time determining. I want to make a trip to go pick these up if they are correct but don’t want to waste my time if not |

| That’s kind of what I was thinking. It looks like there is a teardrop outline on top where an old blinker indicator was located previously. |

but the left fender color matches the body next to it, maybe the owner did an "upgrade" to the upper signals at some point to make it look more modern. You never know. It is a lot more work to install a bullet housing compared to drilling three holes for a signal. How far is it away? |

| Looks shaped correctly by running board. I’d say the turn signal on top was added. The holes aren’t anywhere close to original style. |
