Until recently, many guys didn't even know that these lenses existed. However, I had been looking for a set for like the past 10 yrs or so. I knew that they existed.swissmalibu said:It's funny because in Switzerland we like to put US lenses and apparently in USA you like Euro Lenses :!:
I don't have the front Euro lenses... The precedent ower told me that he has changed to US version but he didn't give then to me, maybe broken??
I have a pair that I got from a French member on this site. I traded USA lenses for them. I now see that the lenses are cracked and deteriorating, that's why I'm looking for replacements. His wagon also was from Switzerland originally.
If you ever run into another set, or decide you'd like to sell yours, let me know.
Thanks for posting a pic of your Firebird...nice car! I always liked the body style of the early '70's Firebirds. 🙂
Hello Cedric,
Your Malibu is very nice, a beautiful Wagon. Congratulation for this buy.
Cedric,in france it's also funny because we like to put US lenses :lol: .
Maybe we will meet us on the road, I often go to Northern Alsace (I lived there 37 years), Alsace is near to Switzerland.
As the saying Jack, I also have a Wagon (1983) with European Taillights But my Wagon was Made in Baltimore (Maryland, USA). In 1984 the Wagon arrived in Switzerland or it received the euro lights. A few years later he arrived in France.
I also have to keep my euro taillights for the technical control, otherwise I must make a change request from the certificate of title (Car collection) for driving with USA Lights in legality.

Bon jour Mon ami,
I was hoping you saw this nice Swiss Malibu wagon. It reminds me very much like yours. It's in great condition for a 1980.
I'd love to see a picture of both of your cars together. :wink:
Talk to you soon.. 🙂
Good luck finding them, Josh.Josh Hanna said:
They're extremely rare in this country. Brian was lucky to find a set. You'll most likely have to get them from a European member.
I looked for them for many years. Now I'm looking for another set.
They will require a little rewiring, but no big deal.
Yeah I know thanks and have you seen the covers that go over the lights? Brian has a set on his wagon and I think IAM going to take then and have a set made for my el.Longroof79 said:
I think I know what you're talking about. I've seen the cover on Ebay a few years ago. They're actually made by GM as an accessory. It's a black frame that goes over the lens, and kind of divides the lenses and backup light. i think there also might be an amber lens that covers the clear white backup light. I'm trying to remember.Josh Hanna said:
Could you post a pic of the ones that are on Brian's wagon?
Yep you are right. IAM going to have some made and I will powder coat them. And I will get you a pic next time IAM at the shopLongroof79 said:
