427 S/C Front Parking Light Lens Color?

[REDSC400]

My ERA 427 S/C came to me with two sets of Lucas front parking light lens covers. One set is clear or white and the other set is amber or yellow/orange-ish. The white set was on the car when I took posession and the other set was in one of the many large crates of spare parts.

In doing some photographic research of 427 S/C cars, I have noticed many original S/C's depicted with white front lenses and also a few with the amber or orange lenses.

Which lense color is correct for the 427 S/C?

I had the impression that the early cars had white lenses, but below is a picture of an allegedly unrestored CSX 3035

1965 thru 1966 is when the laws changed requiring amber parking lights.

The S/Cs were sold from 1965 thru 1967.

Early cars had white lenses. Manufacturers changed to amber bulbs under white lenses until stock was depleted, and then began using amber lenses.

If you are replicating a Comp or early S/C, use white lens...
...a late S/C, use amber lens.
