    Source for Bosch tail light lenses?

    I need a replacement for my Euro Bosch passenger side tail light lens with silver trim.

    The repros are mostly crap. I have bought 2 different ones only to return.

    Does anyone have a source for the Bosch lenses? These seem to be very difficult to find. Thanks

    Jamie, I used to get them from Porsche, that was years ago but they had them then. Worth a try. Dealer always said it was on European back order and I figured it would be months,,,,but I got them within the week!!

    Thanks Ed. I will see what I can find through a dealer network. I tried Stoddard and they only have repro with the silver trim.

    Curious because I am fixing to replace mine, were the ones you bought and sent back from Stoddard?

    Yes. One had poor color and flaking silver trim and its not even out of the package. Still in sealed bag.

    The search for this part is frustrating me. I can find the US version from Bosch but not the Euro version.

    Just to be clear, we're looking for the newer, Czech-manufactured, Bosch-lite lenses without the embossed "BOSCH" lettering, NOT the original, German-made euro lenses with the embossed "BOSCH" lettering? If so, I may have one. I bought a couple sets last year and I'm not sure if I used them all. Happy to check for you but may not be back in my shop until after Hershey.

    Thanks. Would you mind telling me where you found the US Bosch versions? I guess I need to go ahead and order a set.

    Jamie, we have the Bosch USA lenses plus a newer repro Euro lens that appears to be better than some repro's in the past. I'll be happy to send you one with a call tag to bring it back...you can check it out.
