Really bad day

[Gordie Allen]

In the home stretch of reassembling the exterior after painting. I was putting right rear marker light up, and dropped it. Shattered the glass. Hoping there is a replacement out there somewhere. It's a Pilot 7930R.

Oh No!   Cosmo and I have been hot and heavy lately looking for 4106 lenses.  It hasn't be fun and plentiful!

Good luck!

The rear marker lights on a 4104 are the same used on a 4501. That is gonna be a tough one to find.

What a friend did was get some 1/4" thick red plastic that light would pass thru - he then cut it into strips , bent , & glued it into a replacement. After he told me which one, it looked like a perfect new replacement, Hard to believe what can be done when choices are limited.

Good luck, I hope you find what you need.

I think you can now "print" one with a 3D printer, at least on the show "count" they can.

excellent idea!
You can have the left one scanned, then print the mirror image. Should be great!

Finding a place to scan & print should be lots easier than finding a lense.

3D-printing with coloured translucent plastic? Never seen it done myself but it's probably possible - the technology is developing in leaps and bounds.

My first though would be to mould a lens in pigment-tinted resin - definitely do-able, but resin wouldn't cope well with a hot incandescent bulb in close proximity so you'd probably need to convert it to led at the same time
