I don't care what anybody tells you Mr. Duster, '72 tail lights are not reproduced by anyone, anywhere. Fifteen years ago I was at the Mopar Nats with my buddy, and my father. Found a pair, new, never used, complete with bezels in original boxes, from Mancini racing. I walked right past them, but my father saw them. Paid $125.00 for the pair. And that was a steal way back then. They are currently on my restored '72 340. Since.. I have found a decent pair, with bezels a couple of years ago. One had a broken end, which I built up with epoxy. The lense's were in good condition. I repainted with correct paint. They are my extra's. Last year I found a decent set of bezels, without lense's. Bought those as well. But trust me, no one makes them. They'll tell you "Next year" But next year never comes. Just hit the shows, and swap meets. As long as the lense's aren't cracked, or too sun bleached, I'll buy them. You can repair the bezels fairly easy. So don't let that stop you from purchasing. It's a shame too, because the '72 tail lights were more appealing aesthetically. Oh...I was at the Nationals last Friday. A guy had a pair in terrible condition, wanting $200.00..I passed. Keep looking though. There are some still out there. Good luck.

Not '72, the ones on their site, are inaccurately called '72-'74 Duster. They are '73-'74 Tail light frames. Bezels are the inner portion that hold the bulbs. "72 tail lights were only produced that one year.
