Have you considered contacting a vendor for possible sales through them? I for one would be apprehensive about buying something like that without a guaranteed way of sending them back if they didn't meet my expectations. Another alternative is to send a sample to either Jason or Arlie, who are probably our most knowledgable light guys and have them evaluate them. My car is a later production Lucas car so I wouldn't be getting a set either way but if I was in the market, that's what it would take to get me to buy. Please keep in mind I'm only trying to help you out here with ideas to get more people comfortable with your project.

thanks for the vote of confidence but Arlie would be the go to guy on this one as I have never owned Marchals. I am a Lucas light kind of guy.

Sorry but ditto.

I thought Don was the Marchal guy. I know that Bill is pretty familiar with them, too.

avinadav9:
Send me a PM with better photo's (higher resolution) and I can check them. Need something to show the glass markings a little better. From what I see in thsese photo's they have the amber bulbs which are incorrect. My main concern is as I mentioned earlier - glass markings. Bulbs can be changed.

Hey Doug (68sunlitgold); You out there. If I can get better photo's I'l send a copy to you also to review. 2 sets of eyes are always better anyway.

If it's a complete light lense and all, the appearance was accurate and the quality was there I'd buy.
