While we're at it....... What do these B/U (?) lights fit ?

[tailfin58]

Not sure if these are back up or parking lights,

Glass lenses are marked GUIDE B2-53.

Seems these are commonly seen at the swap meets,

but I just got a pair with a bunch of misc stuff.

From what I have been told the -53 would indicate the first year used

but is there any Guide "Guide" to decipher the rest ?

I find that some 50's Cadillac lenses will have an R-5 before the year, but I also have what I believe are Chevy truck lenses that have a F1A-55 marking ?

Were guide lenses only OEM on GM products ?

Thanks for your thoughts,
