Thread: OEM Euro Front Lenses?

    OEM Euro Front Lenses?

    Guys,

    I am looking for a set of new, European turn signal lenses as made by Bosch circa '69-'73. Does such a thing exist? If so, are there any suppliers you recommend?

    I recently purchased a pair, however I was a bit disappointed to find that they were not Bosch units...apparently repros. Again, these must be the European ones (not the all-orange U.S. variants).

    Cheers, Chris

    I have access to NOS Bosch euro lenses but they are priced in € - not cheap. Let me know if you want a firm price.

    You don't say which year your car is - do you want the silver rim ones (correct for '69-'72) or the black rim ones ('73) ?

    I think I may have a pair of Bosch NOS black rim Euro lenses.

    Andy,

    Good catch on my lack of year detail. I've got a '73 car and am looking for the black rimmed style lenses.

    Feel free to email me directly on this; chrisgenau@comcast.net

    Cheers, Chris

    Hi
    there are no problems buying these items. I just bought 2 chrome ones, original Bosch, for about 38 pounds each.
    Try looking at:
    - www.porscheshop.co.uk
    - www.design911.com (catalogue has them)
    cheers

    Euro 73 Lenses

    I bought a set from Stoddards not too far back. They had them in stock, so does Pelican Parts, AJ USA and others. Should not be that hard to find.
