    I swapped my Impala lenses with Caprice lenses. I like the Caprice lenses better. However, they are not an exact fit. I had to remove 2 tabs from each lense to get them in. My new chrome bezels should be here any day.

    Somehow the caprice lenses look more patriotic...really has a red white and blue punch to it. I remember someone writing about there being a difference between caprice and impala tail lights. And bezels. Did you buy new caprice bezels or impala?

    Me too. I thought I liked the Impala because they are closer to the bobcat, but it just didn't do it for me.

    I too bought Impala taillights. Then purchased Caprice lenses. I love the look...
