Default light lens

Has anyone seen or know of a source for some oval led lenses like in the bumper and visor in the picture below.

Good luck. I haven't seen any lenses like that, anywhere, unless you custom cut and filed your own to shape out of some larger lenses.

Radio Shack sells rectangle LEDs. Not sure the exact size but I have seen 2mmX4mmX7mm and 2mmX5mmX7mm listed a few places. And NO I am not planning on making anything for them as a standard line part.

Lightbulb Re: light lens

You could also check on Ebay and train sites for G-scale trains. They might have the proper light lens you need.
