They are bolted through the bottoms of a spare pair of tail light buckets for either, 37-38. Also, there are no bulbs, or gaskets in them. Can anyone tell me what year their supposed to fit?

Below is how they look on the car. They fit between the housing and the stand. VCCA Member 43216 Save a life, adopt a senior shelter pet. 1938 HB Business Coupe 1953 210 Sedan
