yepp ... this is Auto Atlanta from the states (http://www.autoatlanta.com/)
These are "wrong" repros - they are Euro rear lights, but with the glass style of the US version
They just did a new run of Euro repros, now with the correct glass style around the corners

Re: Anyone seen these tail lights?
You are right to be asking the question on quality. I bought some clear "Italian spec" rear lenses from Pelican Parts in California and they were badly put together with air bubbles all through them. I had to send them back and get them replaced. Pelican Parts did not want to pay the shipping back to them but luckily I was in California the next week so I posted them from there. The replacements were better but nowhere near the quality of original parts.

Re: Anyone seen these tail lights?
not really ... I tried to make the difference better visible
this is the "wrong" repro Version (they made them a couple of years ago):

and this is the original version - AND Auto Atlanta did a new repro version that fits the original style:

off course, they try to sell off the older (= wrong) repro version, before they start to sell the correct one
there's a call for a group buy over at 914club.com => http://www.914club.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=429757

Hey Wolfgang...thanks very much for that - very useful
I will email Auto Atlanta and ask for a price for the correct version
Roger Bray has some in stock so I will ask them if the items they have are correct or not
Appreciate your help man
Take it easy
