Where are these lenses made??
Reply from seller.."These are made in Turkey"


WELL CONCOUR BROTHERS::::::::
I bought a pair of these..NO Hella symbol or >script<
of any kind..They are exact though!!!!!
They also have the 914 part # plastered all over
the packaging..AND they are packed nice!!
Did Hella get to sell off the rights??
SOoooooooo For the concour officianado..
The Hella I am sure will be more $$ and a dealer item...
Here's the $$$ $kinny..
12.50 each and 8 freight from another dealer.....
So that explains the price "GOBBLE GOBBLE"..
THIS PAIR= Will go on my 75 1.8 I am assembling for a
'Grocery Getter'.....
For the money a 'smokin deal'!!!!
Look up that ebay # and you will see whaz zup!!!
Damn I hope they do the rear tail lenses too!! clap56.gif

Interesting......

If they're bogus, but high quality parts, why would someone foot the tooling costs? (Thinking out loud here)

And, at $12.50 per, would a concours judge notice, given time constraints?

Wouldn't put 'em on my CW car, but I'd sure but some for the "shelf". Never know - 15 years down the road, would anyone have the smarts to detect them?

I look for the logo to ensure they are correct end up. The line is there also, but the logo is my method.
