I am looking at replacing the amber parking light lens on my 71 vert. I pulled out an NOS one I bought 25 or 30 years ago and it has the correct plug ( molded rubber 2 prong plug) but the lens has a wheel, kind of like the casting wheel you see on many parts with a 3 in the center. This wheel is to the left of the pentastar and part # as your looking at it. The one on the car and several others I have do not have the wheel. Other used ones I have the casting wheel with either a #2 or #3 in the center and the later plastic 2 prong plug. I figure the ones with the wheels are for 72/73 dated cars. Has anyone seen a lens with the wheel and a #0 or a #1 in it? I did a search on here and didn't find this discussed. Also do the reproductions have the Mopar markings on them like the originals? Thanks.

Here's the difference in the lenses I'm talking about. You can see the wheel on the one lens with a 3 in the center and dots in various segments representing a production date? My guess is that is the case. The one without the wheel is the original off the car. My NOS one has a 70-71 plug but a lens with a wheel and a 3 in the center.

Do the reproduction lens being sold have any of these marks?

Sure they have the Penta Star, well, at least ours do.

Sorry, I meant the PG Classics repo does not have the pentatar. (at least the set I have)

No sweat Ron, it gave me the opportunity to show off the complete assemblies we made.

Those are great looking repros. I know where I'll be ordering my lights from. Reasonable price too on the website. Thanks for the information.
