Are you looking for the lens or whole thing?

[Shua57]

Dave, I'm just looking for the housing. I finally got one out of my old bumper (rusted in) but it is pretty trashed. The chrome piece is almost rusted into and the metal piece that houses the light plug is not in any better shape. I rustbullet'ed it, trying to save it but it is pretty rough. I was just trying to get something to work to get it inspected. Still could use one if anyone has a spare. Otherwise I'll try to get this one to hold together until I can buy new ones.
Come to think of it, I don't believe I have lenses either....hmmmm.

Hi Josh, Keep in mind that reverse lights were an option on these cars and should not be required for inspection. I will take a look to see if I have any housings around here, I'm pretty sure I have some lenses. :)

Just the housing. I'm just not ready to buy the repopped ones for $130. If you guys don't have one I may just try to re-work mine. The chrome piece on mine is gone but the metal piece I can probably fab and reweld. I like to see where I am going in the dark backwards...lol.
