Well crap. Unfortunately I had to buy five as a MOQ. I believe this is the shell they used to build these but I can not get the bulb out to make one since they glued and soldered the little lamp inside. I tried with the bulb that was burnt and disintegrated it. Another lamp was so broken the lens fell apart on me at least i have these good lenses too put in the holes. If anyone stumbles across these lights I would still like to get my hands on some.

These bulbs should fit your sockets without removing the Lense.
Back in the days, the lenses came separate with the bulbs, but that changed in the late 2000's. Now you are lucky if you can get the ones you got.
Right. The lenses that broke were very crumbley from being in the sun and weather for many years. I wish I could get the bulbs out of the old ones too build me lights. I ordered a couple t2 neon lights that hopefully will combine with the lenses to make working lights. If so I'll buy another 5 lenses so I can make it look brand new. You can see how bad of shape some of my lights are

Ok, let me see if I got the whole picture here.
You got 5 new bulbs and installed them as they were shipped . Then you started the Genset and the bulbs flashed for a split second and then went dark?
No. There are no lights in the bulbs. They are just shells. One pic is a light from the gen. The other is the ones that just came. I've tried to take the little bulb out of the ones in the gen that work. They don't come out. The one that burnt up the other day I decided to see what it would take to get it out. They are crimped, glued and soldered into the shell

This thing I found looks pretty damned close. I know your lens is clear, so this part number should hopefully send you down the right rabbit hole.

Those will work. Its what we used on the old 004A, fault indicator.
Copy that. I ordered these hoping they will fit in the lenses I received that actually look real nice and fit and they even come with the o ring on them already. Just no light ha ha. I'm hoping these will slide into them. If so i should be good to go. If not I'll probably buy the ones VRZFF found. They don't have to be clear. I would like them all to be the same though. I have the 4 lights working right now with the least weathered lenses on them.
