I think correct 55's have what they call "eggs" which are smaller than the hearts that 57's run. The 55 only's are very expensive also.

Regardless, it was nice of Joe to flip lenses with ya Billy.

yep that sounds right...joe is unsure if its a 55 or 56 he was going to look at the title and see...the tail lights that came with the car are like mine so it might be a 56...

Yea...56 would be the same as 57's. If the car was a 55 it is quite possible the tail lights were incorrect as originals are hard to find and expensive :shock: .
