I believe Roger sells an aftermarket lens for a very reasonable amount.

Cheers!

Those are the ROW lights-- fog on the outside, D/L on the inside, and the whole assembly-- glass, reflectors, and rear housing.
The glass/reflector assembly is "only" $459 for ROW, $482 US/Canada spec.

Here's Roger thread in August about plastic lenses: https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...sa-canada.html
Any updates?

Roger's alternative looks real good.

But I looked on my old set and can't see how to separate the glass section from the reflectors-rear housing section.
Any trick?

Mine are perfect right now but will need a new set someday for sure!

I bit the bullet a couple of years ago and replaced mine with new. Yes, they're expensive, but they really improved the appearance of the front end and I'm sure they throw out more light, too.

At the same time, I also applied XPEL to these and the main lamps. I followed the directions completely and have been very pleased with the results. XPEL.com

We have sold a lot of the lens for $200 each. Mostly used where the original has smashed/cracked. Much easier to remove small sections of glass from the gray frame than the complete lens. Use a bead of clear silicone to seal it back in.
