67 dart tail lights

the housing were too wide.. only realized after i was done with the car.. already painted.. and putting together.. ugh.. this was 2002( i think) anyway.. i cut them and took a section out.. then welded them back together.. that worked for me.. there might be an easier solution.. i don't know. its been a while since i messed around with a 67-69 a body.. i don't have any pics..sorry..
