buster69 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 i'm looking to buy new tail light outer chromes (trim) and I was wondering did the model for tail lights ever change between 69-73? i know 68 its a different style tail light and of course wagons and jap/mexican birds are different. but my question is: Do the tail light model ever change after 1969 model? i'm asking because theres a set on Ebay right now, saying its ok for 69-72. But my car is true 73 with the defroster and lighted knobs. will it fit? http://www.ebay.com/itm/69-Datsun-510-Tail-Lights-/230855107012?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35c00961c4&vxp=mtr Quote Link to comment
Rotary510 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Those lights are the EURO ones - AMBER corners. pretty rare ones but not as rare as the Bluebird one piece. He probably has a high reserve. I have those lights on my car and the chrome is different on those. Look the same but clips awkward on non-Euros. Quote Link to comment
Rotary510 Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 you can also tell these lights came from a car with lots of rust because the bulbs were overheating from corrosion and grounding problems on the positive cables. Quote Link to comment
D52E Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Looking at the parts manual I only see one part number listed starting from August of 1968 to end of model. http://www.carpartsm...42/Default.aspx Quote Link to comment
yenpit Posted October 3, 2012 Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 The USA-spec 69-73 tail lamps were all the same, thus the chrome trim was all the same. Quote Link to comment
SSS510 Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 The USA-spec 69-73 tail lamps were all the same, thus the chrome trim was all the same. Correct 69-73 are all the same Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 The Canadian '68s also had amber turn lamps. I had one though this isn't it... Quote Link to comment
