Default 69-70' Headlight Bezels

I posted a thread earlier about swithing 1970 head light bezels with 1969 bezels. I'm woundering if anyone out there would have a picture of the back of the 1969 bezel. Also if i could get the front fenders measurements that would be sweet.

I have 70 fenders and a 69 headlight bucket. It wont just fit, i had to cut up and modify the brackets on the inside of the actual fender where the headlight bucket sits, it was no big deal, took 15 minutes. I wish i had some pictures for you, but i was stupid and didnt take any!

well the 2 main headlights are in the grille, you just have to make sure they make it to the new location in the headlight bucket, then if you already have fog lights you need to just connect the old harness to the new grille lights and if you dont you need to wire them in
