They will not be for sale. Just about as rare a 914 part as you can get. Last set I had was about 10 yrs ago and sold for $$$.

Are there more difs than the small amber to white/clear like most euro versions?

Maybe Marty (Maltese Falcon) would be interested in a spare set if you procure more than one set.
The LeMans car sported them as well as the Sunoco (Duval) car.
I managed to purchase a set last year here on our site.
Yours look in excellent shape.
Cheers, Dion

Beautiful lenses............ but what is that vacumm system in the corner of the cleanest garage a 914 ever resided in? Mine is office level clean but it has a shop vac on the floor.... I am looking to upgrade.
Good luck with the lens search - a tough one for sure but the right place to find a jewel...

Lower pic was a test to see how the Amber vs white looked on my copper 914. Thanks to Joe Sharp for the generous donation.

I sold a pair for $20 at Hershey the first year I was there. I didn’t know what I had.

On a trip over to Germany in 1985 for the annual Automechanika, I visited several Porsche dealer parts depts and cleaned them out of the rear French lenses. On a stop over in France I was able to score a few more sets, and those were shipped to me in L.A.
These were mostly gifts for 914 friends upon my return Stateside. The show did wear out a pair of shoes !
Not d-o-t approved but I did put a little Red film on the side portion of the amber lens.

If you want the french style lens without paying the big bucks paint the white part of the lens with special glass paint. I painted my pilot driving lights yellow and they look great! One can will run you $20 and no one will know.

Absolutely brilliant Marty!

Had them on my last 914, a Euro 914-6. Really didn't care for them.

Deal went south, seller NOT interested in shipping to USA.

It might be economical to fly over and pick them up; air-fares have been lower since the pandemic ?
