I'm helping an old friend find some replacement lenses for his fog lamps. This is a '71S. The car is away being serviced so I can't examine the lamps in person. I was hoping someone could help me figure this out so we can get some ordered and in hand by the time the car is done. Nick calls them "eyebrow" fogs, and he says they are Hellas. He's owned the car since the early 80's, and the lenses are hazy and cracked.

I am afraid you will have to wait to examine them. Not enough to go on with these pics. IMO
Those are 169's I have them on my '71T, easy to find clear replacement lenses.

The TTG (through the grille) lights, which I believe are being questioned by Jameele, appear to be of the Hella 118 series. They were available in three configurations: 1) clear fog; 2) Yellow fog and; 3) clear driving.
No, he is asking about the below the bumper fogs, "Eyebrow".Originally Posted by ejboyd5

Thanks Mike. I'll do some searching on the 169s.

I didn't have much luck finding "169" lenses. If anyone has some leads, I'd appreciate it. I did manage to take some closer pics of the good lens. Numbers are "E1" in a round circle, with "4567 R8" below. At the left edge of the lens is "K4567". Replacing a single lens and getting these light going again was looking to be a fun little project for Nick and I. But it turns out we're going to need a few more lenses and lights. I've already enlisted the help of John Audette (thanks John) who informed me that Nick's headlights are Marchal Amplilux, and very tough to find. Earlier this week a deer came out of nowhere and hit the driver's fender. Don't get me started about the deer problem in the midwest. I am constantly dodging them. So, if anyone can help me find these lenses, I'd be thrilled. Thanks.

I feel your pain having killed five of them to date and having avoided scores more (two last evening alone - both lone runners that appeared from nowhere and crossed the road ahead of me at full gallop). I should be thankful that eastern Long Island is moose free.
Thanks Uli! I'm meeting with Nick tonight...
