I have had an NOS rightside tailight lens for years and never could find a leftside to match it.
Recently I found a dealership source (actually several online - all seemed to offer the same thing), so grabbed one. It arrived today. Suh-prise suh-prise suh-prise! (Gomer quote) NOS rightside is different from the brand new leftside. Cast-in markings are in different locations and other subtle differences. These are both in factory packaging from different eras. Left: Made in Italy, includes round plastic knobs, no white lens seal. Right: Made in Germany, includes the white foam lens seal, no round plastic knobs. Looks like I need to keep looking and find their mates. Attached thumbnail(s) |

What a great score! I bought complete tail light assemblies from SMC. Housings were nice, lenses are pretty decent, fit well.
