saffrontr Posted March 9 Report Share Posted March 9 Hi the auction you are looking at is for a USA side marker. Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
michaeldavis39 Posted March 9 Author Report Share Posted March 9 Thank you Derek. I thought I was right having converted my ex USA car to UK spec. I tried telling the seller this but he is adamant that he used to sell these as an ex UK parts dealer of British Leyland parts. I would appreciate it massively if you or another member could contact this seller to correct him as I have tried without success and I would like to prevent some inexperienced newbie to TR6 ownership to fall into the trap of buying this part mistakenly.

saffrontr Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Hi JC, Attached images show the differences between the two lenses. cheers Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnC Posted March 10 Report Share Posted March 10 Thanks Derek. That's clear. I assume the different pattern in the lens gives a different spread of light. BTW I see the eBay item has sold. JC Quote Link to post Share on other sites

saffrontr Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 The UK type are readily available on eBay albeit without the chrome edging. If using a US lens as an indicator then I assume that the rear chrome foil will need to be removed for it to effective as an indicator? Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
