Anyone know where a cheap pair of clear lenses can be bought?

Never mind, found an old thread with some links. I placed an order at SchoolBusPartsOnline. The order was placed, but it never asked me for payment info, I assume they will follow up tomorrow.

I recently got a windshield and cross view mirror from the Thomas dealer in Murfreesboro. Mid-south bus.

Super nice folks and the best prices I could find.

I don’t know what experience others have had with them, but I’ll be back there for sure at some point!

Got the back up light mod completed.
Powder coated the base plate Olive Drab to match the rest of the rear. Took 3 binding posts and screw them to the LED plate and then JB Welded them to the base plate. Just waiting on lenses now.

I messed up. The 2 flat plates I originally used by cutting the socket tab off and mounting the LED plates to were the turn and brake buckets for the right door. I don't have anymore of the flat back lights, have to buy 2 more, dang.

Ouch, I just needed a single turn and stop/run lights. Oh ya, and some gaskets. Wait, one lens doesn't match, so for a $4 difference I'll go ahead and get another light. Bam, $84.
