1970 RR Fender Tag Question for the experts

[Sinitro]

Ok guys - I have another question about the L31 option. Was the Power Bulge Hood lights insert a factory piece with the holes already cut? My car should have the L31 option but the lights are not installed into the insert. I suspect it is an after market piece. to use the insert I'd have to cut out the parts that would mount the lights. Which is what expect I'll need to do. Just wondering if there was a pre-cut after market insert.

Thanks

The RR hood insert panel had knock-out plugs for the turn signal lights..
The plugs just pop out..

Just my $0.02...

Mine had the inserts cut out and lights installed from the factory. But road runners without the light option had solid inserts like you show. Other people have successfully cut them out to install the lights.
This link shows what the back should look like: www.ebay.com/itm/116316551639?_nkw=1970+road+runner+hood+insert&itmmeta=01J72MGCQ33FJX1TAXKF43R8VS&hash=item1b1501b9d7:g:rJ4AAOSw0yZmcw2L&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAABAHoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKlj0RyhQ6e9nu7bKi3TF1mdr0Clvp3cqO0X0q02wgmth%2By68RB3a1vaCiZcM4MMUw%2BFftZPQLaID8m4rtpDc9QbYWi8xXY1WXQnVvDSbMFIqQmpoKIVkOovZJXE4lmpz%2FfIZjnfDkB65%2FHHjHISs7vDH6LQDiGmrGKIBi2cQaQHCQZvoVeusERtwW44VyXDifdUDkR%2Fta0iV%2B9V19LvNgogwaToNlMV25nWS3k3WJDQdgjizlDTrPDtfLrMgYZgg7njQHBj78oh3MYmC4d8Jgc3s9ZB9RkQZPtbBq2xw3NStnTHKET4LLZ61c%2Fht861wQA%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR-TLwdS4ZA

Yes.

There were two pieces made by the factory, one with the holes cut out for the factory and one with metal in the place of the lamps like your picture. I'm sure people have cut out the metal and made the lights fit, but if you can find a factory piece it will save you time and hassle.

(I looked for pictures from my car when it was restored, but unfortunately didn't find any of that piece without the lights.)

This is the original piece from my car. My car was not a hood turn signal car

, so no cutouts. Not the best pictures, but maybe it'll help. I don't have a picture of the piece not mounted.

The factory made them with holes cut out and no holes. Plenty of these cars never had L31 lights.

I doubt the aftermarket ever made this panel. It only fits one year and model of car and it rarely get damaged from an accident, or would need replacing.

They used to be available from places like Classic, to go with new hoods, but seem to have been discontinued now.

Do you know if the Classic repro has the Pentastar and Mopar part number moulded into the back?
