I'm pretty sure all three of yours have faded. I see this occasionally. I think heat promotes it, so it's more common in cars from hot regions. The only change that I know if in these lenses is that they added icons to them in '69. ISTR that your icons were different from ours. I could send you nice "new" lenses for yours, but I'd hate for you to change your oil icon if that is one of those which is different. -- Jim Adney jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, WI 53711-3054 USA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
