Default WTB 72 tail light outer lens

Looking for a nice (no cracks) lens from a 71, 72, or 73. (The all red one). Has 71 on it. Minor scratches will polish out. I'm ok with those.

I just noticed cracks around one of my screws.

I have noticed those cracks around my lenses before, from me tightening them up a bit too much I guess, but never have they fallen out. I have some lenses here from various cars I have had in the last three years, let me see if I have one that might be good enough for your car. Back to you yet today either way.
Best regards,

I located a nice one in amongst the bunch, actually more than one, but this is one of the nicest. No cracks, no breaks, clear lens, GUIDE 19 SAE STI71 molded into the lens.

Here's what I have. First, the one with the crack. And then, the other one has 2 nearly symmetrical nicks that feel like a stone chip in a parking light lens would feel. If you have 2 nicer than mine I would gladly double down.

Your first picture doesn't look like a crack to me, it looks like a parting line made from the mold when the part was manufactured. Injection molded parts can have parting lines where the molds open and close, ask me how I know, but this one I have, and all the ones I have, have a similar line to your first picture.

Your second picture is cracks, not mold lines, and mine don't have those cracks.
