Location: Lower Mainland BC | Andrew: The 55/56 Dodges (and Plymouths (?)) had two different style dome/courtesy lights. The sedans like mine, got a single over head dome light. It uses a large somewhat bulbous (no pun intended) asymmetrical lens. The Lancers (2 and 4 door) did NOT get an over head dome light. Instead they got two courtesy lights, one on each side. They use the flatter, less asymmetrical, less bulbous lenses, like the one you show. I think that their PNs are 1579 664 based on the listing below (note: "2" required, whereas the dome light is "1" required). The photos below show the Lancer courtesy lights and the sedan dome light (PN 1593 550)
Despite what they say, the ones on eBay from Mopar Mall are the ones for the sedan dome light.
You could solve your issue of the lights falling out with a couple of dabs of clear silicone caulking on the tab before you install them (Put new bulbs in the lamp holders to be safe)
