red rear lights ?

[almondgreen]

Which Minis in what country had complete red rear lights ? (red indicators)

[Simon776]

Some USA cars had red rear lenses for the indicators.

[Highnumbers]

I believe all Mk1 Minis exported to the USA had red one-piece taillights, but there maybe have been other markets as well.

[nick rogers]

I believe they were also used in Scandinavia.

I believe all Mk1 Minis exported to the USA had red one-piece taillights, but there maybe have been other markets as well.

Not so sure about one piece? always had two piece from what I've seen? I assume your speaking of the lens itself?

Sorry yeah, I mean the lens is one piece (as opposed to the two-piece style of home market vehicles).

I recently picked up an NOS boxed left hand US style red tail light, if anybody happens to have an NOS right side (long shot I know!)

[minimans]

Any chance of getting the part number off it and a picture? I've never seen a one piece lens before

[timmy201]

The two piece ones are available from Moss Motors. They are the same as the MGA Mk11, except the MGA has them on the opposite side to a mini..

[Vegard]

I bought mine from America. Never seen them in Scandinavia. All we had where white indicators at the front.

All so in Canada red lights.

A friend of mine has a set two piece red
for sale, so if some one wants them ?
I'll ask the price from the set if you want it.

Mine are not for sale, they are still in the original box.

[cheleker]

U.S. imports, Mk I: rear, red top and bottom. Separate pieces, not singles. (Front, clear.) Mk II rears were both red top and yellow top. I haven't been able to confirm a change date from red to yellow.

[almondgreen]

Thanks for the infos.

[swindrum]

I have a bunch of solid red 2 piece lenses for a Mk1, never seen a one piece. I do, however, have a solid red set of Pickup lenses that are one piece.

[skorstensfejeren]

My US import 1071 are delivered with the red lenses. They´re 2 pieces original.

The skandinavian mini´s was not with the red lenses, but the normal orange ones.

The part numbers are 47H5479 / 47H5480

[CooperTune]

I'd be interested in a pic of a one pc. lens. I have several sets of red rear lamp assemblies. I even have several NOS red uppers. I know they have been reproduced but have not compared OE to reman yet. Steve (CTR)

Well, I am a big old liar, the pickup lenses are 2 piece as well, just a very tight fit.

[Highnumbers]

I'll post pics of the one-piece lens later. I believe one-piece lenses were standard for U.S. market cars, my '66 has them and the NOS LH assembly I have has the correct part number for a Mini and a one-piece red lens.


EDIT: I stand completely corrected. Just checked my old taillight lenses and NOS replacements. All of them are two-piece red. The old ones had simply "fused" together with dirt and debris over the years and wouldn't easily separate. Learn something new every day!
