Sorry, but my memory isn't what it once was.

Headlight surrounds - I know they were white through '72, but thought they went to black in '73.

Brett Johnson says they were white through '73.

Can anyone verify this?

I think Mark is correct. I know the '73's I had came with white parts. However, these could have been phased in before or after the MY change.

My '70 914-4 had black surrounds ... Original color was Signal Orange.

Not sure if they were original to the car, but they sure looked old enough to have been there from the beginning ...
