    Euro Tail Light Experts

    Perhaps another one for the weird file.
    I recently acquired a pair of NOS Tail light lenses for 72 with chrome edges. They are NOS with all the correct Bosch logos and the "Porsche" logo in the front corner.
    However on the drivers side (left) the reverse segment that is normally clear is red - one can only assume as a rear fog light.

    If we had a LHD car this would be great however the car is RHD and rear fog on the left is illegal....

    So what's the deal - are there any others of these around - is it a special country thing (anyone want to trade for a normal one)?

    It's actually Orange backup and that's France as I recall. I have one, but I'm not sure what side it is.... I'll check later today and post back.
