53 taillights

[Blue 15G]

'53 sedan lenses are much larger than the coupe lenses, and won't fit. I'm sure someone else will provide you with more details on this.

53 taillights

Are 1953 coupe and sedan tailights different? I have a coupe and need tailight lenses. Will sedan lenses fit in my housings? Better yet, are there any LED taillight conversions available?

SI lists the '53 C/K lenses for $35 each and, as Paul said, George has 6-volt LED bulbs.

Thanks for the info, guys. I have some LED bulbs and found them to be very directional.
Merry Christmas

Probably a ground.

Not enough load to trip your ol' bimetal flasher...
Needs either an electronic flasher, or a load block put in the circuit.
