    Taillight lens ID

    Now that the quality of reproduction taillights lenses have improved (no more peeling paint) I'm unsure how to tell a fake from an original. I have some with 11 flutes and 12 flutes. I have a small stack from an estate. None are for the drum style. Some are all red and some amber and red...
