I don't think those light tubes will work ,they all look like they have the same spacing for the lens ,I had to use two of my old tubes and one new one
fun project!!
WOW!! Good eye! What a bummer!  I had not even realized that the lenses have different notch patterns (nor did I realize that the tubes are "tabbed" specifically for the individual lenses). I just now looked at what I took out of the car; one of the three tubes on the clear lens was incorrect (2 same, one different, instead of three different). Although all my new tubes are the same (for the RIGHT lens only), luckily it's the one that was missing (I had two BRAKE tubes in the clear lens). Why are these being sold this way? I did buy my new ones several years ago, but I just looked on the web, and sellers are still selling 3 matching tubes. I guess when they repopped these, they didn't realize that each tube is unique. At least the repop LEFT, RIGHT, BRAKE lenses are correctly notched though.
