    Need help Identifying a driving light lens

    Hi Guys,

    Thought this lens was for a 118 light - its 4 13/16" in diameter, but it does not fit in the light bodies that I have. Any idea what light body these are made for?

    Any idea where I can get a pair or 2 to go with the lenses?

    Thanks for your help.

    Mike

    Thanks guys- I always thought that TN4 bodies were the same as 118's, but my lenses don't fit in them - its not even close.

    Guys I will have to find a pair.

    Sure looks like a 118 lens driving light lens to me as well. Probably for a different application than Porsche TTG lights

    Its because of the TN4 trim rings you have. That is the reason they don't fit. The cases for 118 and TN4 are the same size but, not the same in all respects.

    I bet your cases have a ground spring and not a ground tether wire, correct? To fit those 118 lenses, you need the correct 118 trim rings.
