1964 Parisienne/Bonneville Tail Light Query

Hey all, does anyone know if the tail light housing/chrome trim (pic attached) is the exact same size/fit for a 1964 Canadian Parisienne as a 1964 US Bonneville? Huge thanks in advance!

I'm pretty sure the 64 Bonneville, Parisienne, Catalina, Strato Chief etc. all use the same housings. 

I know the Grand Prix and Safari wagons have the more rounded housing with the chrome trim recessed.  

Found this out the hard way while trying to find a replacement.

Great, thanks for replying. They definitely look very similar when parked next to someone I know with a Bonneville, but just wanted to check as understand the body panels themselves are different. Ill give it a whirl, wish me luck!! :D

I agree with Zigzag's reply. I have owned a '64 Custom Sport for 48 years and agree that the tail light housings are the same. The only difference on the American models is that they had 3 bulbs in the actual lense rather than 2.
Good luck with your project.

Just a note, Canadian 64 Pontiacs had 2 bulbs. Same as the Catalina. The Bonneville uses 3 tail lamp Bulbs.
