^ Thank you. I have taken a look and seems they only have Amber. I believe legally I need to have red, although currently they are purple so hmmmm. I have emailed, called and now await a response to see if they have anything for me. Fingers crossed!! | ||||

Ed, When you finally convert the front directional lights to LED's you may also have to change your flasher cans to the kind that will flash LED's. I have converted two of my flasher cans to the later style. Someone mentioned amber turn signals in the rear. As far as I know amber turn signals in the rear are allowed, however they must be dedicated only to the turn signals. The tail lights and brake lights must be red. Jim | |||

SuperBright has a number or choices to replace 1157. http://www.superbrightleds.com..._Number,1157,21,195: You should use RED LED behind your formerly RED OEM lense. The difference of vivid red is excellent. | |||

^ Thank you! I will be calling them tomorrow morning and hopefully they have 2 red lenses for me! @Mogan David Thanks, I will take a look at the LED bulbs. I was thinking of replacing the bulbs but will probably wait until one burns out. Thanks everyone, I will let you know tomorrow how much luck I have getting these lenses. | ||||

Update: Davis Bus does not stock these lenses anymore. Waiting to hear back from BusPartsWarehouse.com after sending pictures of lens. They seem somewhat confident they can find me what I need but are looking into it. SLC Lighting/ATC Lighting KD Lamp is "re-tooling" and when done will offer this part. Should have an ETA by end of next week. Looks positive I will be able to swap out my purple lights soon! | ||||

SLC has the rights to that lenses and is the only one that can produce them. That is why I was surprised to see they were out of them. Sounds like thye are going to whip up another batch of them. Ahhhhh fresh lenses right from the oven. Who could ask for better.....?

SLC has been working on bringing these 460/461 lens back in stock. We can possibly bring these back. Unfortunately, the cost would be about $28 a lens. We wonder how many people would want to pay this price??????? Feedback please....@ orderdesk@slclighting.com | |||

Dave I see you rotated up the beginning post. I wish that were an option but it is old info. You would think someone these days could make them on a 3D printer? Not sure what the costs would be? As often as this comes up you would think it would be resolved by now?

Sadly I don't believe they are available any more. Some have replaced the entire lights to get around the problem. 9708-M0037-37MM-01 "98" Monarch 37 Spartan MM, 6 spd Allison Cummins 8.3 325+ hp | |||

Fellow Barthmobilers with the obsolete lenses(KD 460 or others), it is possible to cast new lenses using silicone molds. Moreover, if my wife & I weren't so busy & behind with our current sign & graphics orders, I would very seriously consider buying the silicone, resins, & dyes(hues) to reproduce a small run of these lenses. The materials involved are actually very similar to what we work with every day. There are quite a few tutorials on utube which explain the process. Perhaps an enterprising fellow member has more time & some money to invest. I'm sure it would not be a nickel or dime affair. Regards to all, John | ||||
