Dumb question perhaps,  But are the Rear side marker lights Exactly the same on a 70 Charger as a 70 Coronet?

Thanks all

The plastic lenses are the same...housings and backing plates are different. Same story with the fronts as well.  :Twocents:

70 Charger R/T FJ5 440-4peed Dana 3.54

Reason I'm asking is i'm picking up a 70 Charger with "Replacement Qtr Skins" from 20 years ago (?) and they didnt have the side marker cut outs...

Overall the lower qtrs are still in great condition and i'm considering grafting in the openings from a donor vehicle or just "filling" in the front ones on the fender for a "Shaved look".

I believe the housing dimensions & shape are the same, correct?  :scratchchin:
But, the mounting studs on the backside are closer on a Coronet/Super Bee. Hence, the different backing plates as well.

That sounds encouraging since I got an offer for a pair of old lower qtr cutouts from a 70 Coronet for $20.

Anyone else "Second" the above quote?

And again, Thanks !
