Sourcing Early Turn Signal Lenses

[Jetjok]

One of my winter projects is to replace both of the front turn signal lenses. As everyone knows, just the lenses have become available. As it turns out I have a brand new, old stock Right lens, that's been sitting in my stash for many years and I need to find a replacement lens for the Left side. The problem is that I don't know of a vendor who will supply an exact replacement lens. I know that Stoddard as well as Automotion have these lenses, however, neither is truly correct, neither in color nor appearance. For reference, the top left photo has the NOS lens below the Stoddard lens, and as you can see, there's a distinct difference in color. The other two photos show the writing that's on the NOS lens, whereas the Stoddard supplied lens only has "P14845S L" embossed on one corner of the lens. As well I believe that Automotion supplies basically the same lens as Stoddard.

Anyone have another source which might actually supply a duplicate lens that's correct in all aspects.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Thanks Robert,

I've been in contact with him and am awaiting photos of his US style lenses.

Bosch never sold replacement lenses for SWB. They are all repro, originally sold with Bosch logos and script but just some numbers now. Marek has them with proper USA markings.

Thanks Rick.

Do you have any idea where the lens I've shown at the top of this thread, the one with the "Bosch" logo would have come from. I just can't remember where I got it from.
