Amber rear turn signal lens - Cats Eye no. 55

[richard5933]

Anyone know of a source for these? Luke doesn't have any, and I've tried all the usual places.

Mine are still serviceable and I've polished the plastic surface as good as I can, but they are getting cloudy/milky and I suspect that the sun is starting to take its toll on them. Afraid to take them out to do any further cleaning for fear of having them crack.

What size are these?

Grote, Trucklite, Peterson Manufacturing, to name a few?

Replace with a compatible LED or sealed unit?

Happy coaching!

They are 7" in diameter.

I'd like to keep them looking original, if at all possible. Not at all interested in going with LED - don't like the way they look, especially if the other lights are going to stay incandescent (and they are).

I'm pretty certain that there are still lenses out there since these were used in many applications. Problem is going to be finding where they are. That's why I'm asking for help locating that little out-of-the-way bus supply house that might have a pair. They were, I think, used in school buses at one time as well which might help me located a pair.

There are other 7" lenses out there, and most of them have 8 mounting holes instead of just the 4 that these have. Doesn't look like the holes would line up on all of them.

The number stamped on the outside of the lens is Cats Eye No. 55 and I believe that it's also a Cats Eye part number 9060.

Thanks - called them earlier today when I saw that on their site. They don't have them in stock any more. Other than this place, I checked eBay and with Luke. Thought I had a pair on eBay, but then a day after the sale was complete the seller cancelled. Apparently he had already sold them a month ago.

Just found a used pair on eBay. We'll see how they look when they arrive, but from the photos they look to be in good enough shape to do the job.
