Nov calendar cars and front turn signal lens?

While I was admiring the Nov SOG calendar pic ( line of Speedsters with two silver cars up front ), I noticed that both the silver cars had amber/orange front lenses. I checked on the VS website and Kirk only shows clears...like what I already have... Is there a source for amber/orange lenses that fit a VS lamp? I like the amber look on those two cars...

How about using an amber bulb? I have AH Lucas 594 clear glass lenses with an amber bulb which really changes the look.

Doug,
Carey is sending me a set of clear ones to replace my amber ones. You are welcome to the amber lenses when I get my new ones. Let me know if you want them.

Thxs, Mickey, Question for you: when I look at your pics, one shows the LH front turn signal lamp w/orange lense, and the lamp itself looks different from the lamp assy on my VS.....doesn't look like it would fit my lamp? Doesn't even look like the same lamp assy.
My lamp has two screws that go thru the front of the trim ring and hold the lense to the lamp body. Is yours attached like that?
Hard to tell in that pic which is the only one that has a closeup of that corner of your car. If they will fit, I'd take them!
I thought about using an amber bulb, too, which might be the easiest way out.
Thxs

When my kit came in from Kirt's i didn.t like the turn lamps i went and got a set from Stoddards that look like the ones on the siver car above.

Here is a extra note they offer 2 len types,, a short beehive and a tall beehive ,I recemend the tall ones (T-2s). more bulb clearance so they dont melt so easy..

I don't know if anyone offers T2s in amber as yeat, But please let me know If Carey has them in stock....

Doug,
I'll take a closer pic of my lenses and post it then you can let me know if they look right.

Doug,
I completely forgot about those pics. I took them today so I'll post them later. I was reminded when I recieved the ones from Carey today. I'm going to have to replace the whole assembely and I waiting to hear from Carey on the price of the set up before I commit.

I have early Ghia lenses and bezels on my car. The later coupe lights are pretty similar. I like these because they push in and twist off to replace bulbs more easily.
When I first got the Hoopty, it had whatever the assemblies were that came with a CMC kit, but they collected water. The seals were never quite right, so I opted to change them completely with the renovation.
It took a little bit of tinkering to make the back of the light bezels work through the bodywork, but the footprint of the Ghia parts was virtually exact. After it was all said and done, they worked out very well for less than $10 spent, and they're visible from the side of the car.
The CMC ones worked fine, but that condensation was nuts. There was a streak under each side at the worst of it, and at best, they were dull and looked almost opaque.

Here they are Doug

Mickey, are these "dual filament" bulbs --one for parking lights and the other for turn signal? Or are they single filament - turn signal only? and how much for the pair?
Thxs for the updated pics..
Doug

I dont know much about the ghia lamps . But that look fine if your outlawing the ride. How MUCH??

I do know the Beehive versions from Stoddards are very high about $80 or so each . I do have to admit they are top of the line reproductions. Now if they would just marry that socket setup onto their Teardrop taillite mounts to make the backins as good as the front ones are.. I'd Have to upgrade my rear VS units.

They have worked fine sence I changed the sockets out ..But I do like the beehive socket mounts. They are much higher in quality and should last forever..

Sorry Doug, I'm draggin my a$$ on this thread. To be honest I've never bother to look if they are parking lights too. I'll check it out for you and get back. That may be a factor on whether I switch them out or not. I'm a bit of a "priss" when it comes to "orginality" and the lights that I got from Carey are for earlier model 356's. The ones I currently have on my car are the correct light but the lense is not and since I can't seem to find a white lense to replace the amber I may just suck it up and put in the ones Carey sent anyway. I'll keep you posted.


Duh! I just checked Cip1. Can anyone tell me if this lense will fit the housing in my set up?

Hey Doug I'm finally getting around to this (again). I decided I'm going to switch out my front lights with the ones Carey sent me.
To answer your question in regard to parking light/turn signal function - the one I have on me car currently only act as turn signals NOT parking lights. When the lights are on they are off. I have parking lights in my headlights so there was no need to wire them that way I guess.
That said I'm not sure if the have two posts under the boot or not? I can check for you if you're still interested. Let me know.

Mickey, since I couldn't locate the Carrera Project thread, I decided to drop this here. Seems to me everybody here can appreciate this car:
