Could we see your new Back-up Lights?
I ordered some new clear lenses from a vendor once for my '68 C/10 Stepside, but they were different from OEM.
I think I ordered from LMC, but they came in a Classic Industries bag, with LMC part number stickers attached.
The originals had concentric rings inside the lens to spread out the light rays omnidirectionally.
The replacements had parallel lateral lines.
[Probably a '60-'66 part.]
I didn't think it would be an issue, but the replacement ones mounted cock-eyed on the passenger side.
Instead of the screw holes being at 3 o'clock and 9 o'clock [like they are on the driver side] the passenger side mounting holes are at 1 o'clock and 7 o'clock. With concentric rings [Fresnel Lens], angle doesn't matter, but with the parallel lines the rays cast obliquely.
Big deal, it's only back-up lights, but it bugs me.
Early Monday morning, or Late Friday afternoon assembly? IDK.
