Default How big are brake lights/ tail lights on the C4?

Can anyone tell me what the circumference is around the tail/brake lights on the C4? Not worried about the ZR1 because those are kind of squared out, but the regular round ones. Was wondering how big that lens is around?

This is an odd topic for a new thread. Find a replacement part online, many of which will tell you the diameter or radius or some other physical measurement. From there, if you need the circumference or area of the lens, just do the math.

I had looked around the internet, and I had seen 6", 7" and 7.5". I was just hoping someone here could get me an exact measurement of what the width is from left to right in inches. If you can't help that's ok, I just thought the forum members might know!

You still haven't figured this out? It's a strange question, but my '84 tail lights measure 18.06 inches in circumference (including the little black trim ring).

Sorry, but my tail lights are not the "regular round ones".

I can measure the ones on my '96, but they will be the same exact shape and size as a ZR-1 that you don't want.
