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

Maybe I'm dyslexic but if you have a USA car (left hand drive) and someone broke your driver's side tail light lens, what you need is a LEFT side lens. Your post is a bit confusing, so can you clarify? I think mepstein's prices are fair so I would get it from him, but make sure you are getting the lens for the correct side. I will add that a used Hella lens is going to be much better than a new AA lens from what I've seen. A picture would make it all clear (right vs. left, Euro vs. USA). BTW, some idiot once drove into my 1973 914 and broke the driver's side tail light lens. Unfortunately that idiot was me
