    Does anybody know what the internal diameters are for the lense openings in the front parking light bezels of a 1958 Impala?

    My idea is to use two of them, turned 90 degrees, together with 59 Caddy lenses for tail lights on my '34 Chevy. I don't want to search for a pair unless I know they'll work.

    I don't have a set handy, but you could probably fit 2 59 cad lenses in that opening. just from memory I would say 4-4.5 across.
    we'll see how I do......

    Cool, thanks guys. That'll mean that I'll have a 1/2" gap around the base of the lense (which is 3") and that shouldn't be an issue to fill with something.
