Has anybody purchased a pair of the reproduction tail lights that are available from MSA and other Japanese suppliers ????? If so, do they have all the original markings on the lenses.

 

Cheers,

Aaron

I haven't purchased them but I've been told they don't carry the koito markings. Have you tried reconditioning some second hand ones? Finding good lenses without cracks is the hard part. I've got a couple of sets on ebay over the years and I'm going to try polish them up and rechrome the plastic for NOS look.

Hi Gav,

 

I have restored a set which I have on the car now, I was thinking of taking them off and using the repro's as good assemblies are hard to find. If you need any tips to restoring yours let me know.

hmmmm very interested in how you restored those to better than OEM  :)

 

Likewise they look fantastic, would love to see a write up on how you did that and what materials you used etc.. As I'm sure many others would. We could definitely make it a sticky post also for future reference.

 

It's amazing what a difference it makes to the appearance of the car.
