    PBR i hade the same thing happen to my 53's at the pile-up. Sitting in line for 30 minutes riding the brakes melted the lenses right out! Time for LED bulbs. Cl***ic chevy has the LEE lenses.

    I cut out the tailight sockets and sunk them about 3/4" into the bulb-holder. this moved the bulbs away from my lees leens and keeps it from getting too hot.

    Because of the way i tunneled my taillight's, i have to do the same thing.
    They would clear, but figured the heat would ruin the lenses because they would be pretty close.
    Thanks for posting this, i'm glad i got a heads up..
