Okay guys, how many different styles of fog light lenses were use over the years of round lights.
Why I ask? I have a '70 914-6 that has lenses that are fluted and segmented like a head light bulb. My '72 & '74 have two different styles of bulbs that have long vertical flutes, though each slightly different.
I am aware of the Euro driving lights, but I believe they don't have flutes at all. Correct?
I am hoping to replace the 914-6 lenses with another correct set, my bulbs are burned out and the lenses are so cracked that they will fall apart when the retainer rings are removed.
Your input would be helpful. Thanks, George.

Anyone know where to get the amber lenses? I would like to change mine.

You can make them, i have two sets one set i bought off of ebay years ago, they were advertised as orig equipment, and when they came, they say "made in japan" (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

So what I did was buy this, in yellow

http://www.duplicolor.com/products/metalcast.html

and a set of new hella lenses, sprayed the backside (inside) of the new lenses and viola! I was more than happy with the results, the color looks "right" and heat has been no problem.
Not one person has asked how I did it, everyone thinks they are real (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif) till now (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif)

here's the only shot i have at work...
