Default Tail lights

I have just been in contact with a chap in Melbourne who is mad on Lancia Beta Zagato"s. He has had small batches of tail lights made and is in the process of have a few sets made. Contact me if any one is interested.

I was thinking these things may be worth manufacturing. I was reading some discussion on a Lancia forum and I got the impression people would pay quite a lot for these lights.

Can you point me to the Gemini you have in mind I cant find anything that would fit or even look the same . The nearest I found was the period 1981 to 83 the SL series but they are quite different.

Yes the remanufactured Tail Light Lens will be expensive but are very good quality.

Ah, well that explains why the Opel Kadet or Holden Gemini headlights are not suitable!

Hi people, a long absence from this forum, but dropping on I see something that I can perhaps help with a little experience/knowledge.
412 headlamps are european market Rekord D or Commodore B. In South Africa and Iran it was a Chevrolet Royale.
I had terminal reflector rot, so bought a perfect pair of German salvage lamps and simply substituted my UK RHD lenses across.

Default 412 Head lights.

We seem to have the correct answer as to where the lights come from. Were either the Record D or Commodore B available in right hand drive ?
