Source for replacement Lucas Amber Marker Lenses??
Does anyone know a source for the replacement lenses for the Lucas L-539 front marker lights? My Unique came with clear lenses and I would like to replace them with the original style – amber color lens. The replacement that I’m looking for has the 4 winged tabs on the lens. I know I can buy the entire assembly form Finish Line ($ 43.00 on page 11 of their catalog) but I only need the lenses and don’t wish to have to pay $86 for 2 lenses.

Possibly...
Cobra Restorers, although I'm not sure. You might also check with Bob Shaw of Operations Plus. I believe both of these outfits have links at CobraCountry.com
Good luck,
TT

europaspares.com or cobraspares.com. They're in UK, carry virtually everything for OEM Cobras and other Brit cars (Jag, MG, Healy, etc.). Buying from UK is about like any other mail order house.

Okiesnake,
Have you checked with Unique yet? They might have some that you could swap out.

Yes!
What kind of condition are yours in? Could you please post a pic of yours. Mine are like new (5 months).
If your trim rings are in good shape, it would be easier to swap out the trim ring with the lens.

Suggestion
Lucas uses little brass inserts to hold the lens screws into the metal housing. When wet, they exhibit dissimilar metals corrosion resulting in a rusty housing and corroded inserts. A light coating of wheel bearing grease prevents this.

Okiesnake:
A fellow Cobra owner and friend saw my answer to you and called to say he had some clear lenses he would let me have.
Thanks anyway.

Gary,
I remember you big ugly guy! Thank you for your offer. However, Unique said they would swap them out for me.
Why did you change from amber to clear? The reason that I wanted amber was because I thought the 427 originally had amber while the 289 had clear. Am I wrong on this?
