Default 1971 - Side Marker Lenses

Hey everyone. I need new lenses for my side marker lights. The housings are fine. I just need the lenses. Any idea where I can get just the lenses?

I looked for some when I re-did our 72, (front & rear) could only find new ones with the housing.

I think the lenses are part of the housing...meaning you can't replace one without the other. You'll have to replace the housings too.

The lamps are only available as an assembly. You might try looking for some good used lamps and remove the lens or we have them new us made by Trim Parts.

I bought used side marking lamp at ebay and made from two bad one good.
The lens go out when you push it from the bulb hole, it glue to the housing with silicon.

Default Take a Look at Auto-Vehicle Parts Co.

I purchased my ('69) lens from this company. Also known as Au-ve-co. The lens don't have the correct markings, but looked the same and for me that was fine. Part #'s 9916, 9884. I think '71 lens are the same, maybe not.

Well, one thing is that from my experience the lenses are easy to remove. They are actually glued in with a clear rubber type glue. Just stick your finger in the hole where the light goes and push. The lens will just pop out.
