Light lense

I do not think you can just purchase the lense in the FTP strip - I believe that you have to purchase the compete assembly.

You can only buy the entire unit. There are no spare parts and actually nothing to dismantle or take apart.
The thing for whatever reason is called illuminated tape in the parts catalogue.

It is quite expensive but used ones usually are no better than yours one way or the other.

Yep, sealed unit I'm afraid. Has internal adjustments seen here but no parts available.

Yes, expensive I'm afraid. I purchased 2 in September and managed to get 15% discount but with Vat now at 20% it's going to be the best part of £400.00 for the pair. My glass was OK but the reflectors had all but worn away.

The trouble is even the breakers know their worth and will ask top money. I concluded in the end that the extra £50 was worth it for brand new.

Good luck

I actually did take the lense off of one - you have to carefully cut the black silicone seal, then clean up all the left over silicone out of the groove, then replace it back into place with new silicone. My glass lense was in great condition, but as stated above, you can not just get the lense.

Surprise surprise. Euro are out of stock.
I have an FTP with a cracked indicator lense if you want to try and get the fog glass off to put on yours?

Ditto, it is doable.

Hey,
That would be great! Let me know what you want for it and we can take it from there.

Cheers

I'll dig it out of the 'stash' at the weekend and PM you the details.

My local stealers charged me £150.00 inc VAT for a new one. 3 days delivery. As said before all the scrappies seem to either know the value of these or they were one of the first items sold!

I am also looking for the same glass lense, drivers side, a stone hit mine and put a hole in it.

Reflector, etc is ok on mine so I will have a go at splitting the glass lense off if anyone has one handy?

When you do track them down,get the light protective tape (for race cars etc) I had to get two ftp's lesson learned and peace of mind....fingers crossed.Paid only £30 for the ftp's(I know,result !) the tape to protect them was another £30 (and the headlights as well)......£400 quid each....probably...

Did you take the indy lense off as well?
Looks a bit better bonded than the fog lense.
