Great Price is right. I paid over a hundred for mine as well. However, it looks as if you are just buying the lens, not the entire housing that attaches to the side panel. If you purchase these, you may need to separate your orange lens from the OEM housing, then epoxy in this clear one. I'll write the seller and see if the auction includes the housing. Scott |

He must be set up for a larger volumn. The previous versions were all hand made and assembled by a POA member. Let us know how they are if anyone gets a set. |

According to the listing it is the lens only. Also only the lenses with no backing are pictured. You would have to separate the stock orange lens and glue on the new ones. This message has been edited by BeWare on 11-15-2006 at 05:12 PM |

I wrote the seller . . Yep, it's only the lens itself you're buying. I'm looking at a spare set of orange lights I have here, and although it looks like the lens should just pop off, it's REALLY on there. But, if you were careful you might be able to pry them apart without breaking anything. I remember that when I got my clear set from Dale, it was obvious from the backside that the lens had been epoxied to the lens housing. I can't see any glue on the OEM orange ones. Scott |

Feral - Dale's were molded and poured separately - original replicas. The OEM ones probably use a high tech adhesive to hold them together. jmtoughts |

They look nice for the price! I am suprised he is not making the backs also. Anyway his is my free advice: FREE ADVICE: Just be careful removing the OEM lens. It can be done but be patient. If you break a corner or edge of the housing you can seal it up with the glue. My best luck was using Locite Clear Silicone Adheasive. I got it at Wal Mart in the paint section. Take your time and let it set overnight. It really smells but holds well. After they dry gently blow some air into the light socket to see if you have any leaks. Don't worry if you have too much on the backs as it will work in place of the gasket if you have removed it. If you want something other than a white bulb, 194's will replace the OEM bulb and come in amber and other colors. Suggestion: paint the inside of the housing the color of you Kat to improve the overall appearance and soften the contrast on the side panel. If I missed anything let me know. Good luck! I am glad someone else is trying to meet the wants of Prowler owners as my source is gone. |

The stock lens are ultrasonically welded to the housing. This is process where sound is used to melt the housing to the lens. If you have the patients you can get them apart like Dale said and silicone the new lens onto the housing. |

The ultrasonic sound causes vibrations that are moving so fast that the plastic melts for a second. |

If you break your backside housing,,,,,you are pretty much screwed. I believe Catfish told me the amber side marker lights [housing included] are worth about $40.00 EACH.All times are CT (US) Top of Page Previous Page |  Return to General Prowler Discussion next newest topic | next oldest topic |
