Hey guys....
Do the front and rear 68 charger side markers both have the curved housing or is the rear curved and the front flat?

Both front and rear side markers have a body line thru them and use the curved style side markers..

I thought they were curved also, but... the original harness I have that was in the car still has one of the fronts on it (the other three are missing) and it's a flat one??
I know the doge curved/plymouth flat theory is incorrect becuase my 68 coronet has flat front and curved rear

The Charger has a body line in the center that goes down the whole side of the car. The Coronet only has that line on the rear quarter panel thats why it uses one of each type marker light housing,and the Charger uses both housings with the body line.

Coronets are flat in the front. Chargers are all curved though.

Thanks guys,

This charger must have had the wrong bezels stuck in it at some point... car had original paint when it was started and the harnesses looked untouched so it threw me for a loop...
