    Angry replacement cibie lense

    SON OF A B***


    ok.. i dropped one of my lenses when taking it out to get access to the wiring in the back.

    does anyone know where to get a replacement lense?

    do one of the ones from these sites work? If so which one.. are these high beam only?

    I am so beside myself. I just hope i can get a replacement with out having to buy a new replica set. I dont see individual lenses on pelican...

    Thanks,

    Harry

    Harry go sit down have a cool one, I belive I have you covered, going to shop right now for a look see.

    Harry I found one original Pallas lense same as repops with exception of marking. Mine "made in France' also lacks some other markings that are on repops. I would assume you could get a replacement repro lense but can't steer you to where.

    Chris, thanks for the tip!! Replacement on its way


    Mark,

    just wondering, if you have just the glass piece, how would you attach that back to the reflector? would you use any special kind of caulk or sealant?

    Great Harry good to hear your set. Can't answer your question I have never replaced one I'm pretty adept at not dropping that kind of stuff . I can tell you the old glass in pic had some sort of sealent used.

    replacement cibie lense

    Harry, first I don't know what was originally used, but I think I'd start at my local Home Depot caulk department and look for some white caulk suitable for sealing glass to metal frames. Just a thought!

    Hi Harry,

    3M 5200 Marine sealant works very very well and looks just like the original. Once it drives it will not go anywhere. You can find it at Home Depot or any boat shop.

    This link may help some more...

    Glad to hear you got a replacement lens.

    Best regards,

    Brad
