Challenger Clear vs Amber Front Parking/Turn Signal Lenses

[71383bee]

I was hoping you guys could clear up a question i had regarding front park lenses.  I've noticed that you can get clear or amber replacements and was wondering if there was a year or option even to have clear vs amber.  I recall only seeing ambers but admit that i'm not familiar with all challengers. 

I also noticed that the correct bulb for a 73 challenger rallye was an 1157NA while the std. challenger was 1157 which is clear.  So it got me thinking was the rallye originally supposed to be clear with an amber bulb?

I attached the bulb chart from the 73 Body FSM.

Hmm, that's interesting about the bulb difference.
As far as I know, they were all amber lenses originally.

IIRC the 70 Charger used the same lens & Charger was clear Chall was amber

70 Charger & Challenger were amber lenses, the clear lenses (at least on a Challenger) were on export cars.  Canada is not considered an export.

Interesting, that should "clear" things up.

I'll Say!

Well its not a huge deal.  I ordered amber lenses as mine are due for replacement.  Just was wondering out loud.  I do find it curious the rallye bulb is specified as an amber bulb vs clear.  Is there a big deal if its amber?  I would think it wouldn't make much difference behind an amber lense.  May actually be darker i surmise

you would not notice the amber bulb behind the lens

My understanding is exactly what CP posted.
