I came across these on eBay, repro turn signal lenses for '78, and '79 Aspens. They look fairly good, and I have bought side marker lights from Mexican repro dealers before and was pleased, but wonder if anyone has seen these particular lenses in person. I heard that there were some repro grilles of very poor quality a while back out of mexico, and didn't want to waste any money if these are of similar bad quality.

They look O.K. from the pictures. N.O.S. ones are becoming scarce and a little pricey. If somebody has tried these or is willing to try these out then please let the rest of us know.

I saw a couple pictures of the Mexican grille's,,,,,,,,,,,,,total CRAP. Not even driver quality, seriously.
One thing that jumps out at me with the lenses is they're raw. No electroplating around the lenses and the dark silver between the lenses and chrome edge isn't there either. Similar to the Mexican repro taillamp lenses. They're raw also, no electroplating.
By lens I mean where the light actually shines through when installed.
