Good luck finding them. MW-Bayless had a [salvage] pair they sold in a heart-
beat several months ago. Follow E-Bay . . . weekly. They do appear. Sometime
ago a NOS, NIB whole assembly popped up. Only one side mind you, cannot re-
which side. I do remember a price of approx. $300. So be prepped for the outlay.
Keep hunting & good luck. Yet another Beta "unobtainium" part. And for God's
sake when you find one disassemble the whole thing, clean it up, inside & out
and carefully apply clear G.E. Silicone II Bathroom/Kitchen caulk on the outside
[exterior] lense seams. LBZ tail light lenses, unless re-done, are notorious
for falling out and/or off. Be a damn shame if that happened . . .

Thanks for the advice; i have an ongoing eBay search to alert me when they go on sale; and know it won't come cheap; bought the car late last year...and the right fell off the next day i drove it.... arghhh....

A reminder for all Zagato owners to check the seal on the lens right away :((

And I am looking for the Left Rear Taillight for a 1982 Zagato Spyder. I'll keep you informed during my research in case I come across the Right-Side one, and feel free to let me kno if you find a Left-Side one.

One last thought, when I said take 'em apart & clean 'em up [the lenses].
If you want to spend the money Mequair's makes three products that'll
pretty much restore the clarity of the plastic lenses. Mequiar's #17
clear plastic cleaner, followed by Mequiar's #10 clear plastic polish then
Meguiar's #18 clear plastic detailer. Obviously if the lenses are GROSSLY
hazed [oxidized] or cracked it's too late. If the lenses are in "decent"
condition these products will make 'em look [almost] new. I'd suggest
installing new OSHRAM bulbs while things are dis-assembled too.

Ah, those appear to be Scorpion taillights, but at least now you can list them for sale accurately! :)

Sorry...WRONG again...Those are Fiat X1/9 taillights, not Scorpion. Completely different. Look at the shape of the turn signal lens and check out the mounting screws. Scorps only had a single upper and lower in the center, the X's have corner screws. Also the 'reflector' section of the brake/taillamp is completely different. These aren't interchangeable with Scorps.

I will "second" the motion... those are definitely X1/9 taillamps.
