Thanks. Since the front right is the last one I need that would be great. While you're pulling stuff, is the bezel on the front left still in good shape? A previous owner buggered mine up drilling holes in it to mount a temp sensor and a replacement would be a nice upgrade.

Ill see if it'll come off clean.

Any luck pulling the front-right lens and/or left front bezel? Hoping that the lens is still usable.

I'm waiting for some dry weather to attempt removal. May have to use a carbide burr to remove heads. Have done it before, it just takes some time.

Okay - makes sense. If your spring has been like ours I fully understand. Very wet and not particularly warm.

Guess I have been lucky, as so far I've been able to remove all of the lights using a #3 Phillips on the outer screws, sometimes with a wrench on the shaft of the screwdriver. The inner plates are easier.

I've seen other lenses which were recreated with 3D printing, but to me the results were quite disappointing. The result is more opaque than translucent, and the finish would require quite a bit of polishing to look like an original.

I was going to post on this thread today actually, as I've been able to obtain some lenses for three of the four corners. The ones I found on eBay worked out. I do now have one extra right-rear and one extra front-left.

The front-right amber lens is the only one I'm still looking for. It's not the one I started out thinking I needed, but once I pulled them all it's the one that was the worst and leaking. Looked good on the outside but the inside is disintegrating and not watertight anymore. Chessie4905 has offered to check his parts bus to see what he's got, so maybe that will get me a little time to find a new one.
