Hi Mike W.
Presumably for indicators (turn signals)? My 78 has small clear lens reversing lights in the centre of the inner rear lights. They have been rewired as indicators & have an amber bulb installed. Hope that helps.

I know they were made for the C4, but don’t think they were produced by anybody for the later C3’s

Opel Manta A rear light lenses were fitted to the few C3s imported to UK when new, so you might be able to get some of these to work. You’ll probably find some used sets on eBay.
However as mentioned above, the majority of C3s out there will most likely have rewired the rear lights in order to convert the reverse lights into the turn signals with amber bulbs.

Used them on many occasions, they fitted the holes in the rear tail panel perfectly. Just pushed in, no fitting needed. Were nice and tight so couldn’t slip out, but easily removed if need be.
