I know this has been covered before, but I got my set in the mail the other day.
They look Awesome! the only problem is is that the man in brown was rough with the package and busted them up!
No worries though! Mike from B-E/A is going to send me another set!
Here are some pictures!
The New one is on the left.
Like the originals they do not take well to being banged around by the men in brown.
But notice how clear they are!! And they are DEAD-ON with the originals!

The 71s are great. Only problem is that they only reproduced one side.

My taillights won't interchange from RH & LH and fit correctly...either will my chrome bezels. They all are in very nice condition to. Just my 2 cents

I know that on the 72's the lenses are the same for both sides, but the 71's are two different lenses.

Two different part numbers for LH and RH (for 71)...it's hard to see the difference but they are different. As stated, try mounting a set of the chrome bezels over them and you'll see the need for the correct ones for each side. When I told Mike about it a couple years ago right after he came out with the 71s I don't think he believed me....

guess i won't be doing that anytime soon then, then again i don't really have 400 bux for some taillight lenses either, so cracked on the edges is good enough for now...just wish i had all the screws to hold em in

Mike owns B/E&A.
www.beaparts.com
He is a CUDA guy and his family business does a lot of NASA stuff. So he used that knowledge to start his own Mopar resto parts buniness when he could not get good repop stuff for his Cuda's.
His web site tells you some of this.
I have meet the man and he seems like a good straight up guy. Located in Media Ohio a short drive from me.
