I've never seen or heard of a 69 camaro with no reverse lights...I wonder where those lenses came from... maybe a chunk of tailight spliced into where the white portion was? Weird stuff...

I just clicked on our new sponsor D & R to compare...our sponsor has some very god pricing...neither of these lenses look like the standard lense though. They have the stainless on them.

All 69 lenses have the stainless trim around the perimeter, and the vertical trim pops off if your car does not have that style-trim option. I would imagine all the repros come with the trim, and if you don't need it you can take it off.

DOH..had RS lenses pasted but the other link saved...click on tailight lenses and you will see the straight red RS lenses with the stainless bar across the middle left to right.

I have seen the lenses and they are not RS lenses. They are standard lenses with a red lense where the white/clear lense is supposed to be. MAybe somebody cut out a square in the bumpy part of the lense and popped out the center and glued it in. It looked real to me and if it wasnt original, they did a great job of it. It looked like it was on the car forever, not some new lense.
