I ordered two of these from my local NAPA store and when they arrived I noticed that on one the clear lens had a lot of brown dielectric grease in it. NAPA reordered it only to find that the new one was full of dielectric grease as well.

Since then I have tried to order them online but in each instance the vendor found upon inspection that the ones on their shelf also had dielectric grease in the lenses.
I need one more that is usable with a clear lens.
Any ideas anyone?
Thanks
Unfortunately I don't have a source for you. I suspect they sell in very low volumes and the vendors' stocks are old.
I would really like to find a suitable LED replacement, but it doesn't appear Truck Lite makes one.
Since my post I have been back to NAPA and purchased the one I nixed yesterday. I looked at it and it looks
fine now.
I figure that the factory-applied grease ran inside through the pig-tail receptacles and went to the bottom (which was the lens, as it was always down when the package label was on top) , so all I have to do is orient the assembly so when warmed the grease will flow back out.
I will turn that dielectric grease into water with my heat gun. Bwahahaha
