taillight cover question

We have a 76 Sovereign and we are missing one tail light cover. I am not sure if the cover on the other side that matches is original or not as I am having a terrible time finding a match.
In the photo below, I am referring to the protruding tail light cover on the right:

If you're talkning about the red lense, they are original.

Not sure about the outboard silver light housing. We don't have this on our 76.

This is for a "missing" reflector.

Is this the lens your looking for? If so - this is the only place that I've seen them and they are Out of Stock now. Someone else my have seen them elsewhere and will chime in I'm sure if they have. Good luck with the search....

switched mine over to LED units, and found an almost identical size at a truck supply place...also, larger truck stops have lots of this kind of stuff available....I also replaced all the reflectors to 'brighten' things up...!

I'll check, but I believe the old units I took off were cracked and not usable...

Here's a link to some pic's of the LED units...

Thanks, yes it is actually the "domed" lens at the top right.

Hey Ryan,

Have you considered upgrading to two new lights?

I bought some Grote lights recently for another project. Their catalog is fairly extensive. Not sure they have the exact lense you need, but I would think you could find a new light assemblie that's a close match

Grote The First Name In Vehicle Safety Systems

Just a thought,


Regards,

Kevin
