Default '68 tail light lenses

Cas, Just to further clarify the difference, the GTO and Lemans lenses have different mounting screw hole locations, so they are not interchangeable. Not sure about the Tempest, but I'd guess they are like the Lemans.

Lemans/Tempest mounting is the same. Six screws. They are interchangeable. The GTO lense and tail light housing is different and lenses will not interchange. If I remember right, the GTO lense has four screws.

shineybike, thanks for the info. i was looking for a set of gto lenses for my gto clone, glad i didn't buy them as they wouldn't fit the lemans houseing i thought mine were 69 lenses.

the 68 gto housings are very very hard to come by.
the oem quality of them sucks, and they come apart real easily, so be super careful working with them.
