    Can someone measure the tail lights and reverse lights on their 55 for me?

    I know it's a weird question, but I'm travelling and won't see my girl for two weeks. Need to buy parts and forgot to measure!

    I need to know the base width to see what else fits.

    If you don't know by daylight tomorrow I'll measure mine for you. I don't think Tri Chevy works because 55 Pontiac is round and I don't recall Tri chevy stuff being round.

    I dunno, it's late.......give me til the am!

    I'm on a shopping spree. Taking vacation the week I get back to NJ so I can get some time behind the wheel this summer.

    The tail light lenses measure 4-1/4 inches across where they fit into the tail light housing and the back-up lenses measure 2-7/8 inches across where they fit in the back-up light housing.This is on the 55 Pontiac Starchief sedan.Hope this helps,mine were off the car.
