Front blackout light lens replacement

Post by southpw »

I'm converting my front marker/blackout lights in my M38 to be turn/marker lights. I have disassembled the casing and my clear lenses need replacing as someone has painted them blue and then tried to remove the paint with a sharp object.
Can these lenses be purchased from somewhere? I've been looking everywhere and can't find parts for these lights. I don'twant to change the entire front cap to a clear or amber lens
Thanks

Have you tried buffing them out? The headlite lense polishing compounds are
quite effective on clear plastic..

The gouges in the lens are to deep to buff out unfortunately.

John at Midwest Military may be able help you out. Or you could always find some good clear plastic or even glass and do some fab work.
