Title: Color of tail light blinkers?
Post by: Jan S on 16 September 2023, 01:55 PM
I have a 1975 450 SE US-version with yellow/orange front and tail blinkers.

Does that mean my blinkers are in fact EURO-version ... since US-tail light blinkers are red? Is that correct?

Background: I need to find a new/used right tail light lens ... and I need one with yellow blinker.

You can certainly find a few on eBay both in the UK and in the EU.

Hi Robert,

thanks again for your offer!

here are three pics of the rear right tail lens ... with orange blinker.

Also, please see the number engraved in the lens (SAE STIAR P 2 A 73). Probably a standard and/or certificate of some sort?

Please send me a PM if you have one and want to sell.

Cheers
Jan
