Re: [T3] Question: Tail Light Lens

Nope, no side reflecting elements at all.  I do have the US fronts
on my Fastback, which greets me if it's parked outside my house at
night as I live at a T-junction.  Reassuring in a way.

The red/white rears each have two rectangular SIDE reflectors, one
on
each side.  It's a separate piece glued into a depression there.

Do the late euro fronts not have that reflector piece?  Our late
front and rears have very similar construction.
