Many years ago I bought two of these NOS lenses, sold at the time as Fiat Dino lenses. They are the exact size and shape as the Dino spider lens. I don't believe they are for a Dino since they're all orange. All Dino lenses I've seen are red or orange/white. They have the following information cast into the lens... Altissimo 23.8102, SAE DR66, IGM 4702 PR, IGM 4701-1P and the capital letter "A" circled, followed by 25009. I'd like to find out what these are for so I could move them along to someone that could put them to good use. At the same time, I don't want to wind up selling them thinking they're for a Fiat 850 when they really fitted a Ferrari GTO Anybody want to take a punt at what they might fit? (Sorry for the photo but no matter how I have it oriented, it comes out sideways in this post)

Hi, your lenses are perfectly correct for a Dino Spider all versions. It’s the lens for tail and stop light. The orange/white lenses are for the turn signal and reverse light. Current market price for your lenses ranges from 40 to 130 EURO each piece.

Thank you. Interesting. All I've ever been familiar with for the tail and stop lights are red lenses. Guess I learned something new today!

Re: Parts identification help needed
I am not sure about these lenses - normally Fiat Dino Spiders had orange/white outer glasses.
Maybe an export variant - or Dino 246 glasses?

Ribolla_67 must be right! If looking at all FIAT factory pics of the Spiders, they all seem to
have got red tail lights/brake lights. And - international regulations always seem to demand
rear lights and brake lights in red colour, not orange or yellow.
On the other hand, all Dino Spiders sold new in Italy got white front blinker lenses, although
the small round side blinkers lights were orange! Regulations in other countries demanded
orange front blinkers, so these also have been availible. So, maybe these orange lenses were
made for a very odd export market?
