Hi there, I'm looking for the front left hand side marker lens that fits a 1976 Oldsmobile 98 Regency (should be the same as that of the Delta 88 and Custom Cruiser of the same year), mine has been mysteriously disappeared (stolen?) after parking at a mechanic's place for one night as shown in the photo, couldn't be found anywhere. I know this piece is rare, and I've tried the sites like the RockAuto and Oldsmobile Obsolete with no luck. Does anyone here have a spare that I may buy from? Many thanks!

 

Hi Oliver,

I would say it was stolen because there is really no way for that to just fall off on its own. There are 2 large nuts on the back side that hold it securely in place. The only way to get the lens off is to remove the entire headlight bezel first and then remove the 2 nuts. I may be able to help you with a replacement. Where are you located again? If I remember right, you were outside the U.S., right ? If so, it might be worth combining some other items you need into one package to help keep the cost more reasonable. Either way, let me know where you are and if you need anything else and then I'll look to see if I can spare one.

 

Thanks a lot for your help!!! As you may remember I've spent 10+ months rebuilding the motor (especially shipping the crankshaft was a nightmare), now she is literally a zero-mileage new car with rebuilt motor, carb, trans etc. and I can see no other part that I still need so far...was looking for a replacement vinyl but then I've decided to just remove it as the NZ climate isn't suitable for it. Yes I'm located in Auckland, New Zealand, if needed I can pm you my mailing address cheers!
