I believe all the C3 taillights are the same size and, therefore, YES.
I have a '76 w/ the 80-82 rear and was using '76 lights...now have the "bubbles".

Same here. I have a 76 with an 80 rearend. It bolts right on, except for some minor mods to the bumber - removal of some bolt on pieces. I'm using the "bubble" lights also. I would think all C-3 lights would fit since the "bubble" lights fitted my original 76 bumber. :seeya

Krazy: I think there is someone on the C3 Parts for sale section looking for someone to swap bumbers with him. He has the 80-82 style and he wants that 1975-1979 style, might be worth checking out! :cheers:
Merry Xmas!

My 7T9 has the 80 fiberglass rear and all the lights are the original 79....Aloha and Merry Christmas and a Happy New year from the Great State of Hawaii.....Cappy :seeya
