The 56 looks identical to the one I have, minus the colossal amount of work it needs Well, I hope you have a good budget because I could bust it for you. Your lenses should be the same left and right and should be 1658 158, also used on the 56 Chrysler wagons. The good news I found a vendor that says they have them. The bad news. The price is outrageous.

Elite Veteran Posts: 1102 Location: Hayward, Calif | If your red lenses are still all in one piece and not cracked, get some rubbing compound and some really fine polishing compound and a dremmer with polishing pads and polish them out. I did this with the 59 Dodge lenses that were cloudy and they came out like new. Jerry | ||

Expert 5K+ Posts: 9903 Location: Lower Mainland BC | 59 in Calif - 2019-10-12 4:55 PM If your red lenses are still all in one piece and not cracked, get some rubbing compound and some really fine polishing compound and a dremmer with polishing pads and polish them out. Even if they are cracked and/or broken, as long as the fit of the pieces is tight, you can make repairs with Methylene Chloride and a fine syringe. Followed by 2000 grit sanding and polishing, etc. BTDT on an Audi taillight (or two) This thread: https://forums.quattroworld.com/s4s6/msgs/244993.phtml | ||
