Just look at the first 3 Corvettes I posted above: 63, 64 & 65 - no b/u lights

Here are the stats for 63 to 65 Corvettes that were built with b/u lights:

1963: 318 out of 21,513 total

1964: 11,085 out of 22,229 total

1965: 15,397 out of 23,562 total

So, the b/u light was just placed where a red lens would normally be if you didn't order b/u lights. Shows what I know about mid 60's Corvettes, which is not very much.

Wow, this is great stuff!! Didn't know there were that many!! Now the question is, what is the date on these "duplicate" lenses?? On my 1969 Nova (original picture), it's '68.
