Having trouble finding a back up lens for sale....

I have a 1984 300TD (wagon), and I am looking for one of the bumper-mounted reverse/back up lenses.

Does anyone have a spare used one, or know of a good source to purchase one?

Peace and grease,
Steve

I covet the two perfect lenses when I see a wagon on the road...
these low buggers just are begging to get crunched.

Well, there you go. That was easy. Thanks for the help!

I wonder if there are any gently used ones floating around out there for a bit less....

Ding, ding, ding! That's a great upgrade suggestion. Thanks for the link. I bet a set of cheap Harbor Freight lights would work well too.

I appreciate all of your help. In the end a local forum member invited me to his house and sold me one of his -- thanks andrewjtx!

Peace and grease,
Steve

Contact Kurt in Rockford, MI. He was getting rid of a bunch of W123s. I think he had a wagon or 2.
