Location: Lower Mainland BC		I have decided to do a reversible modification to the taillights on my 1956 Custom Royal. I am going to convert the back-up lights to a second taillights (3rd and 4th if you are counting) (complete with running and stop/signals light via new 2 pin sockets tied into the existing harness). To this end, I have bought two lenses from AJ's Classic Lenses. One of them is the proper 1955/56 Custom Royal taillight, PN 1658454. The other is different and has kind of a pebbly finish to the inside of the lens, much like the lower half of the 1604395 55/56 Custom Royal back-up light lens. The PN on this pebbly lens is 1604394. I can NOT find it in my parts book. However, the parts book lists 1604390, 4392, 4395 and 4396. No 1604394.

Not sure if I can live with the 1604394 (the one on the left) so if you have a 1658454 (the one on the right) for sale, please let me know. BTW, the PNs are cast into the inner most edge of the lens (IF your eyesight will let you see it).

The 1604 394 lens is for a 1955 Custom Royal. The other 1955 Royals and Coronets used 1604 381.

For 1956 the Custom Royal used 1658 454 and the other 1658 709.

Location: Lower Mainland BC		That was my suspicion re: the 1604 394. The confusion arose because I could not find it in the 1955 parts listings.

Thanks Bill.

Location: Lower Mainland BC		Just scored two used lenses supposedly for my 56. Unfortunately, they are both the pebbly-inside finish 1604394 lenses is for a 1955 Custom Royal, instead of the 1956 Custom Royal's, 1658454.

So I am still looking for another 1658454.
