1974 tail lights

What is the difference between 1974 tail light lenses and 75-79 ?

I am putting a 1974 seamless rear bumper on my 75 and found out my lights will not work, any pics ?

Thanks

74 lights bolt in from behind. 75-79 lights bolt in from the back with retainers. Totally different design.

It's a pod bolted to a sub-frame, not the bumper. The lens is not separate. The bulb goes in from the back.

Ouch. The 74 set up is one year only.

You can't buy bubble lights for a 1974.

Thanks to all for the help,
As far as bubble lights go, it is not my bag, they look cheap. I found a set of lights, should be here tomorrow. Thanks for the help.
