My "new" '74 914 2.0 seems to be, as best I can tell, fairly well preserved. However, I am now starting to wonder if my tail lights are not original since they're not solid red and have an orange wrap around part.
Did this style ever appear on US destined 914's or did the orignal owner of over 30 years, for whatever reason, put these on? They have the look that they've been with the car a very long time if they're not original. Any help appeciated. Steve Attached image(s) |

I'd bet that a large percentage of US 914 owners have, at some point, changed to euro lenses front and/or back. I did, many years ago because it was the "cool" European look.
Fortunately, I finally realized that they looked wrong with the stupid side marker light & switched them back to US (which was one of the first parts I packratted). Unfortunately, and characteristic of me, I gave away the euro lenses to a buddy who had resurrected an animal 914/6. Wish I could have back all the spares I gave away to friends I haven't seen in 15 years. Pat |
