Question about 69-70 side marker lights...

Can anyone tell me if the side marker lights for the 69 and 70 are compatible.  I want to order new lenses for my 70. YearOne offers lenses for the 69, but not 70. Will the 69's lenses work?

The part number on the YearOne website for the 69 side marker lights is:

BN812       Side marker reflector lenses, 1969 B-body models, reproduction.

Thanks,

Mat

If I heard right from other people, I think 70s are bigger than 69s ??? ??? ???

that's right longer and the '70s are lit and have a chrome surround too..
'69s are a simple reflector...

Just 6T9 CHGR

70's light up and are an entirely different shape

No markers or lenses from 68, 69, 70, 71, 72 Chargers will interchange with each other. Each year is completely different from any of the surrounding year's designs.
Also, some think that '70 Coronet markers are the same as '70 Charger markers...they're not. There's just enough of a difference in shape between the two to make them not interchange. They are close, but no cigar.

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

actually you can get away with coronet ones on a charger in a pinch but not the other way around

By using the whole assembly, or just the lense? Just wondering, I haven't tried it personally.
