Title: Driving light and Entry Light
Post by: stump on January 27, 2022, 11:56:57 am
Has anyone replaced the stock hella lenses with anything else ? Part number please.
And
Does anyone have the number on the original entry light lens or have you replaced it with a LED? Part number please.  Original was replaced with a 4703 headlight.

Stump needs the lens for the light. Our lenses were good but the lights never worked. I ordered a pair of LEDs, sandblasted the metal body and then spent over an hour trying to get all the adhesive off both the lens and body. Got most of it off and gave it a quick powder coat, baked it and put it back together. Or at least tried to.  The LEDs were too long and hit the lens. A week later, a shorter pair arrived and work really well. I also sprayed the rim with semi-gloss black and bought 4 stainless screws.

Source for the LEDs: 2pcs H3 LED Headlight 100W 10000LM FOG Light Bulbs 6000K White Driving DRL... (https://www.ebay.com/itm/383838136509)

The fog lights come on with the headlights so will wire them separately.

Photos are from today but the coversion was about a year ago. Not a perfect PC but no time for a second coat.

I replaced ours with LED lights. Officially they are for off-road only. We don't drive after dark, so that won't be an issue. I mainly use them for letting a truck know that he is past me. I still have most, if not all, of the old Hella parts.

I need a lens. My friend Wendy who bought Ted and Karen's coach has a cracked broken driver's side lens..that is what I'm looking for. How much do you want for them?
