Hi guys... I have a '73 USA car and some "IDIOT" drove into the back of me on a motorbike, smashing my drivers side tail light.

I only need the lens, but of course would buy the whole unit if i had to.

Even though the price for a replacement is only $149 on Auto Atlanta, one brand new lens on the right and 1 old looking one the left side are going to look very odd so would rather have an old one if i can find at a reasonable price.

Let me know if you have one for sale.

Cheers fellas!

Chris

“Hi guys... I have a '73 USA car “


so is mine (a USA Car that is) @mepstein . (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
but it don't have no american light set up no more.
these days you can be LHD but lots of other stuff still has to conform.
lights being the big one. dipping headlights to left, lense color, etc etc etc/
not just the color of the lens. its how the lights themselves operate.
pretty much aus = nz in that respect. also = Japan and UK.

i think what our kiwi friend means is the car came from the USA and is not originally a european sourced car. just about all the 914s down here in aus and NZ are from the USA. if i recall right he introduced himself on the website a year or so back when he go0t hold of this car. it had already been in NZ at least 15 or 20 years if i recall his post right.
but could be wrong. to me its likely its running a light set up that would have been modified for NZ regs back 20 years or more ago.

i'm thinking like @fiacra the best thing he can do is post up a photo.
then no one will be guessing? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

ps - i actually have the original USA red lenses from mine.
and i am way closer to him.
i might think about parting with them.
though am kind of sentimental about all the original bits i had to take off and keep them in a box.
but i am thinking he probably has euro lenses - reason i ask the question.
