    When you say lights, do you mean the 68 MY reflectors? Was that something that occurred in CA delivered cars? I've got a 68 CA car that doesn't have them but shows traces of an installation.

    All U.S. MY 1968 911/912 were equipped with side marker lights. RoW 1968 911 were not equipped with side marker lights. Either PO removed the side marker lights or you have a non U.S. car.

    Per factory parts manual, the gold "PORSCHE" was applicable to "911, 911(USA),911L, 911S." from chassis number 305101. The 'Chrome' letters were for "911TU, 912." My books are only SWB cars.
