These parts are not NOS. They are a good economical solution for a daily driver. If someone absolutely had to have NOS for a restoration, a few of us here have some sets stashed away.

I believe that Bruce and Kendal, as well as myself have a set of these. They have been available for several years. Check the seller's history. I believe that Bruce has a slight fitment issue that was not a very big deal to fix.

1. There is no Ford logo, mold / casting / engineering number, nor D.O.T. numbers at the bottom of the clear part of the lens.
2. The opaque rear part of the lense is a different color than an original.
3. This is the offshore copy version. The ones made with factory tooling have the reflective coating bleeding over to the outside of the opaque area.

Thanks Patrick for the info! They sold to somebody. One of mine was replaced back in the 1990's. I have the receipt where the original owner purchased it from a Ford Dealer. Strange thing is, the original lens is faded and opaque in color (very yellowish). The newer one looks factory perfect. Is it normal for these to change / fade over the years?

The yellowing is pretty common after some time in the elements. It can be corrected with some work.

They had more than one vendor. I've seen them off-white to cream color, and I've seen NOS replacements that color as well as light grey. I'm talking about the opaque (the non-clear) rear portion.

So far as the clear portion, the originals were made from plexiglass, which would turn yellow and cloudy with age and weather. The new replacements are made with more new fangled polycarbonates that resist fading, yellowing and chipping much better than the materials available 30 years ago.

I got these, they may not be nos but still look great, no problems with fit. The originals were completely yellowed and crazed.

i have a set also and they fit nice and look better then the broken ones that had been in there

[brownsvo]

are the factory inners yellow or clear? i know mine are yellowed with age..just not sure if it was intentional.
