Tail Light Broke N, Now I Need Advice. 700 1985

posted by  someone claiming to be Thomas on  Fri Nov 10 19:58 CST 2000 [RELATED]

I bought a used '85 740 two months ago, and the passenger clear reverse light lense was loose. It seemed to stay in place by some kind of magic, or maybe London Forces or Ionic-Volvo Bonding. I knew that I would need to fix it, so I purchased some tail-light lense adhesive, and put it in the trunk. I left it in the trunk until the lense fell off on the freeway (I think). It's GONE!!

.

Anyway, enough of the background. Question 1: Does anyone know where I can purchase a clear reverse light lense? The rest of the assembly is in premium shape, and I know them bastards are expensive.

.

Question 2: The driver's side tail light assembly has a broken bracket for one of the bulbs. It is one of the lower (maybe the brake/headlight) ones, so it could get me a ticket. Is there any way to fix this? As everyone knows, the bulb-retainer mounts on the light assembly and the corresponding printed circuit sheet. The bracket of the assembly is broken where the tabs of the bulb-retainer should be holding itself in.

.

While I am at it, the passenger front signal indicator lense is broken. This one is like the problem in Question 1 above, with the lense only broken. If anyone knows where lenses can be purchased, please share the wealth!!

.

Mahalo.
