I saw on the Sierra Madre Collection website European tail lights lenses repro that are made in Europe.

Anyone using them? What repro brand are they?

How do they compare to AA ones? Obviously, you can't rely on pictures but the amber on the AA ones look a little darker.

I imagine they're made by the same outfit and simply marketed through these vendors. If so, the fit is only marginal as they don't wrap around quite as far as they should.

They don't look like the AA ones but that is hard to tell,SMC have sold their fair share of stuff to me that isn't correct so not going there anymore.

Well, FWIW, my recently acquired 914 came with real Hella euro rear lenses, not repro. And they don't fit all that great either, like the AA ones, they don't seem to wrap around the sides like they should. So maybe the repros aren't as bad as people think.
