Wingtip Lenses?

Has anyone replaced their wingtip lenses with the ones from Great Lakes Aero Products?

Mine are very yellow/faded and the OEM lens are twice the money.

I've put them on 3 of our 337's. They seem to be a little more brittle than the factory ones.
One of the sets had a dimpled look to them. Like a golf ball, you wouldn't notice it unless you were like a foot away. If your old ones aren't cracked you might try one of those kits you polish out car headlights with. They work well to clear them up

Just replaced one of mine last week with Great Lakes product. It takes a little time to fit them to your tip and then drill the holes. I'd say I spent about 2 hours and I had it mounted. Here's a photo

Just replaced mine as well. There was a minimum amount of trimming required. The lenses fit nicely.

Well worth the expense.
