Following a thread on the samba about this, I decided to go though our nos lenses box last weekend as I was a disbeliever! until Nessy posted the part no info, that there was even such a thing as an amber lens, they always all just looked red to me! :lol:
So I was surprised to find quite a variation :shock:
Interestingly I also went though a bunch of og complete lights, and did discover one thing, that 4 pairs of 53 heart units with no drain holes (not shown in pics) were ALL still wearing the dark type hearts og factory fitted, and later heart lights from 54 & 55 ( the og paint is the giveaway) were the ones wearing the amber. I need to go though all our lights to determine if this is the division.
SO, it occurred to me that these amber lenses could be the big mystery that is M018?? :shock: I though 'maybe!' but my oval has M018 but its lenses are red & og :? Bugger :lol:
Anyway, I thought I would post the pics here just for interest.
Amber Samba thread (The grey light on the left is a nos unit I just fitted the lens into to show it better, the one on the right looks like og pastel or iceland green under the blue paint but I am not certain)
