CIBIE e-code lenses
Does anyone know where to get these? I had a slight mishap and shattered one of mine. I tried to search but did not find a source for these.
Thanks!
Thanks!

I got a replacement through him, total cost was about $55 when i got one a few months ago, but it depends on how the euro is doing.

I used to have the Cibie's, but after 3 broken lenses I've switch to the Hella E-codes. They're essentially identical in performance (as far as I can tell), and haven't broken one yet.

I've had the cibies for 3 or 4 years no problems, I had hella vision plus lenses before that and one cracked after a few months. I don't doubt that the hella's are fine, I just see no point in replacing both lenses as opposed to one so I think I'll stick with the cibies. I dont want to run one of each.

That's one of the reasons we don't use the Cibies. They have a slightly better beam pattern but they also tend to crack easily. The Hella E codes are real thick and rigid. They passed the "hey lest throw rocks at them" test. Extremely scientific.. I know.
Cibie cracked on the 3rd rock. The Hella would just chip so we got a much larger test rock, then it gave up the ghost.

I do like the test 
I'll give it some thought, right now i'm running one cibie with a narva bulb and a hella vision plus with an unknown bulb, so I need to figure something out.
