Default 1969 OEM Back-up Lights...

Guys,

Do factory 1969 back-up lights have 69 on the red lens and 70 on the white lens?

My stock tail lights have 68 on the red tail light lens.

Thanks,
Sum

The tail light lenses should have GUIDE 19 SAE 68 on them and the reverse light lenses GUIDE 19 SAE 69.

Thanks Red Vert. Any idea about the white part of the back-up lens? It has a number on it too.

My BU light has 69 on the red part and 70 on the white part...

Thanks,
Sum

Sounds like you have 70 reverse lens. Not sure if they are originals or repops. I don't think there was anything but guidex on the red part. I'm not that up on 70-72's so I'm going from memory.
