Jim, I thought you were supposed to heat the car body and freeze the tail light before installing... I'm really confused now

You are both right.  You have to heat the taillight lens at 350º for 36.5 minutes and then press fit as necessary when installing.  Ouch!!!  I forgot to use the oven mitts.  ::help  ::thumbup

I don't think it's correct. Your measurement was 17.75" and I have 17.827"  ::scratch

I didn't see anything wrong with it, it still can read that way on most tape measures  ::scratch

I got my girlfriend a easy read version. It has fractions on one side of the tape.  ::toothy

Thank you all for your responses,  6/16…. It’s really embarrassing, well, being an immigrant in the US, the English Language is not the only challenge, as you can see.  Yes, this is 3/8.

I have the 3d tail light files now. I'm still working with new software to figure out the dimensions.

Maybe it's a misprint and he meant 5/16"... Either way, I'm thankful for the contribution!

Same here... another piece of the LP640 taillight puzzle solved.

Thanks for sharing

I've got broken tail light from ebay, after rear-end collision.
