I think these guys are on to something. I will be upgrading my nav lights with there stuff, I have one of the interior lights, nice quality at a decent price

I have the same aqua signal which also needs a new lens. I am disappointed how quickly it aged in the sun. I bought it new, put an LED bulb in it, and despite a 34000 mile circumnavigation and getting submerged plenty of times, the bulb outlasted the lens. That's not right imho.

I'd really like to replace it with something glass, that will last basically forever, with an LED behind it.

I had the same light & gave up looking for a lens.

I went with MarineBeam.

Hella NaviLED is a great unit. It’s a waterproof sealed unit. I’ve had mine for several years and it barely shows any age. This includes weeks offshore on passages.

I suspect eBay [or the like] will be your best bet, but, have you tried Hella Marine?

thanks for the responses, i've checked hella and ebay, haven't found similar housing and lens. I was trying to keep the original SS housing model but perhaps i can find acceptable replacement. I just don't like plastic i guess. just a thought i've seen youtube videos of body work on plastic parts hitting it with heat or flame and restoring the faded piece. maybe i'll see about polishing the lens.
thanks again.
