Title: Euro Headlight & Tail lens type question
Post by: Andres G on August 18, 2008, 02:37:20

Hello All,

I've been looking at different Euro cars lately and reading through the forum, I've realized there are at least two different types of euro headlights. One of them has a flat crystal while the other one has a rounded appearence to it... more like a magnifying glass.

Also, there are at least two types of tail lens types, one with amber, red and white and the other one with red and white only. Are there any more variants?

How can I tell which one belongs to which model and production year?

Thanks,
Andres G
