    Quickest and easiest modification you can make to a 53, the original tail lights are just wrong. 54 bezels with bubble lenses are clean and right at home.
     
  4. Just make sure you get the 54 base too, it spaces the bulbs out correctly.

    No they Aint!:mad:..whats wrong about them?
    53's look right on a 53..54's look right on a 53 too..but that dont make the 53's wrong

    BTW to answer the original question..53's and 54's fit both years
