There is still a question on inboard mounting screw lengths with two different designs. Do two different lens designs require specific bumpers because of the mounting tab locations?

The mounting screws should be the same in either design. IIRC, the longest screw is the one next to the reverse lamp, with the other screws the same length. The variation, if you will note on HFR's picture post, is the depth of the lense mounting hole with the housing. Screws should be the same, Mounting tabs should be the same, same bumper....you just need to mate the correct housing to the correct depth lens. They are a matched set. So a shorter depth lens would not mount correctly to that housing, not because of the screw or bumper, but because they do not mate up.
The relationship is between the lens and the housing. On the shorter lens, the housing mount had the longer area built on it...on the longer lens, the housing mount was shorter. So, the over all distance is the same.....so same length screws. It would be easier to explain with a pic of the housings.
