Ok Guys,

I assume all tail light housing's are interchange and I'm told they are all different sizes is the OCC the longest or Caprice? Does anyone know the measurement top to bottom?

The difference is that the RM is the shortest, the Caprice is 1/2 inch longer, and the OCC is 1/2 longer than the Caprice. I do not know the overall length of each one. If you put an RM on a caprice or OCC, you will have a bare midriff (it ain't pretty). The Caprice tail on an OCC will give you the same effect. The aftermarket bumper covers are made for the Caprice lights, and the OCCs can be used with them as well. The Caprice and OCC lights can not be used on a stock RM, because the chrome trim will interfere with them. You may be able to use the OCCs on a Caprice, but the trim will probably have to be removed.

Fred do you have a nice set of OCC tail lights? I need something else with my rollpan.

I do not have any for sale. They are difficult to find, and I only have a set of spares for myself. Someone on ISSF makes a cover for them that will extend to the bottom of the bezel. It only covers the sides, and not the bottom of the bezel. He also makes a rear bumper cover that extends high enough to fill the space with a set of RM tails. It is not a roll pan, but looks nice.

Ok thanks Fred. I can modify my rollpan if necessary.

You might try hitting up GaSST he just stripped down an OCC not too long ago (Tim with the white Fleetwood).
