Yep try the GTX bezels on them. The cheaper lenses are both right side and the left bezel does not fit. (Gots to be able to use the bezels if in the GTX, or SSP world... Bought a set of NOS lenses in the past... $150.00... Dam, that seemed outrageous...)

Now that's a bummer to hear about I was wondering why the factory had a L&R part# & not the repros,I wasn't aware about the repros only producing the R/side what where they thinking that's stupid,I have NOS RR lenses & GTX bezels I figured why not get the repro GTX lenses & save the RR ones.
Like it really matters I doubt you can tell that RR lenses are being used with GTX bezels installed unless you really look close the factory was probably just saving $$ eliminating another step in production,probably why the repros where sold on Ebag the bezels wont fit them & the only reason to buy the GTX/SSP lenses is to be factory correct.
P.S. So I assume they only repoped the R/side bezel also & therefore they should fit but would there be noticeable appearance/angle difference ?

I just bought a set of the 125.00 RR lenses and they are both right side. My understanding is that the 100.00 lenses are both right side and the 365.00 ones are the correct right and left sides. That's what I hear tell.

I think the $350 set of lenses have the factory blessing pentastar & part#. I think they are also injection molded, versus resin cast.
