63 turn signal lenses- source?

[Zimm63]

Looking for replacement lenses for the parking/turn signals on my 63. OPG has them for a price, but I am concerned about quality issues mentioned in other treads.

Has anyone bought a set? If so, where and what was the fit and quality?

Thanks

Z-I ordered them from OPG a few weeks ago. I held my breath because of all the OPG horror stories. Turns out they are pretty good. Good fit, color and finish. I'm pleased. Get the gasket kit too. PRL

OK Zimm: There are a lot of guys parting 63 and 64 Rivs. I think there is a good supply of used ones for reasonable. Just check around. Mitch

I've parted out and picked parts from many 63/64 Rivieras. One of the things I'm always looking for is good lenses for the grills. I've yet to find but one or two that don't have some crazing types cracks in them. (I can find all sorts of the inner flat lenses that are good.) Granted the scratches not too visible behind the grills but they are there.

PS - I just "Googled" 1963 Riviera turn signal lens and came up with an old AACA ROA post from 2009. In that post, reference was made to this site for GM Obsolete. At least there's another source. GM Obsolete's price is $129 compared to OPGI's sales price of $166. You'll have to go through all the prompts to find it.
