Default 760 Front indicator lenses

I ordered some copy indicator/sidelight units from Euro Car Parts for my 89 760 and they are a much less “angled” front face than my old ones. Are these potentially for a 740? If so, a) ECP’s website is wrong and b) are late 760 ones the same as early 940/960 ones? ECP sell both, Sod’s law is that the 900 ones are three unfortunately three times the price 😭

Yes facelift 760 is the same as a 940, the ECP ones aren't the best, don't fit properly and the locating tags always break off the first time you try to remove the lights as they're cheap nasty plastic.

If you can find ones made by DEPO they are far better.

What Luke said ^^^^^

Sadly i don't share Bobs enthusiasm for DEPO products but have to admit they generally fit correctly, assuming the locating tongue and clips don't break on fitting.

The trouble with ECP and many others is they seem to forget there was a facelift 760 and think that all early (to 1990) 740 and 760 use the same front indicators.
