Lenses for 12 volt lighting

Among several items the '78 Dodge Itasca (Damien) needs are new plastic lenses for the original Progressive Dynamics single and double bulb lamps, about 5" square.  Is there a source for just lenses or is it more efficient to put in replacement fixtures at $8-$15 each?

i was just browsing stuff on ebay and saw  this  seller ralco1201 has 10 lights for $25 or 20 for $35 for that price it probably cheaper than the lenses

I just bought some of those lights from that ebay seller. They are pretty nice lights but they will barely cover the screw holes from the older style lights. They will not cover the entire area the old ones did. You may end up with a brighter shade where the old lights were, I was going to replace some of my yellowing old lights and put the old ones in some of the cupboards that are hard to see in. May just use the new ones instead.

I also bought a 20 pack of lights, hard to resist at less than $2 each. I am repainting the interior so new lights will be nice.

Found exact replacement lenses at the local RV supply (Webbs in Lakeside). $1.69 for the lens, $1.70 each for the complete fixture on Ebay.  I put several in yesterday and like the look and newness.

I'm changing all the original square fixtures to brand new oval style Progressive Dynamics fixtures purchased on EBay.
