Hey gang... Someone correct me if I'm mistaken, but isn't there a difference in the rear side marker lens between a Coronet and Charger? I could have swore the Charger had a "lip" on the top whereas the Coronet didn't..
If so, then, does anyone have a picture comparison?
The bezels are different as well?

Thanks...

I found this out the hard way a couple years back.  I took this reference photo but I can't recall which one is correct for the Charger or what the other one is off of.

I believe the Chargers had the shallower housings. All the ones on my '69 were the shallow design.

I got this picture from mike over at the 70 board.. The Charger is the deeper of the two.. Apparently the lenses are the same, the housing's different.... I looked at a '70 Superbee yesterday and sure enough, the lens looked like my '70 Charger, but the housing seems to sit deeper...
