Reply to "Euro Tail Light Lens"

BF5E2363-49B0-4CAC-A7D1-47341E441C6ASteve, you are welcome. Since the answer to your question had already been posted ๐Ÿ˜Ž in my first response, I thought Iโ€™d just have a little fun...... at your expense.๐Ÿ˜‰

Years ago, when I wanted a pair for my car I soon realized a complete set was a rare thing to find, so I started purchasing housings and lenses in order to get the four pieces needed. It was at that point I started learning the lights were made by Carello and Altissimo. differences in production and deterioration of age often results in noticeable differences in the tone of the amber and sometimes the red sections. The Altissimo lenses will fit a Carello housing but not correctly, and the Carello lenses will not fit on an Altissimo housing. The lens attachment screws are often rusted in the housing fittings, and the mounting studs on the rear are occasionally broken or missing. And you really havenโ€™t lived until you have a perfect new old stock Altissimo assembly that is basically glued together because the white sponge rubber gasket has ....literally.... melted during its 50 year Storage.

by the time I had a matching set with matching colors, I had leftover pieces. And so began my hobby-based business endeavor  ๐Ÿ˜‰

good luck on your search.

Larry
