Default 74 parking lamps

New to the group. Thanks for the add! Does anyone know where to find a pair of front parking lamps for a 74? Are they the same as a 74 Ventura? My car has been apart for almost 8 years while I restored it and I can't find the ones I had. (I think I may have thrown them away by accident when I cleaned up the shop). Thank for the help!

Yes, they are the same lights used on a '74 Ventura. Neither car is easy to find in a junkyard any longer.

Thank you for confirming that they are the same. I have called dozens of junk yards across the country trying to find these and no luck so far.

Thanks. Firebird central had to check on it and didn't call me back. Chicago muscle car doesn't actually have them. I messaged the other 2 places late last week and didn't get a response as of yet. Crazy how hard these are to find!

For what it's worth, it took me a while (and help from PY ember ladytata), but I just sourced a single RH unit in excellent condition to replace the cracked original on my '74 Formula.

Expect to spend a few hundred dollars for an original pair in similar condition.

Thanks for the info. I spoke to a gentleman today. He has a pair of them he is sending me that are driver quality with some stone chips. When I receive them I am going to make some molds and try to pour new lenses. I will let everyone know how they turn out. If they turn out good I will make as many as I can

Mine has a cracked pass side lens. I gave up years ago looking for one.
