j hancock Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Looks like a regular KD 517. Should be able to find some on fleabay in amber. Save the red ones, a fire guy will probably want them. 1 Quote JimIt doesn't cost anything to pay attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZB755V8 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 There are a few places to go for antique lens and whole lights. Just Google. I was looking for Green KD lens for my LTL cab lights. hard to come by but found a few websites and got two sets in a matter of a week. Good luck, they are out there.

41chevy Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Your fender lights were made by Guide .....part number 919137.Same unit used by Harley Davidson 1936 to 1957 front fender lights with either clear or amber glass lens. I believe the Harley dealers sell repros lights and lenses.

farmer52 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 check with SLC Lighting. www.slclighting.com Quote Ken PRR Country and Charter member of the "Mack Pack" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpotter Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 I checked SLC lighting and they do not have them. The part# is 919137 and the glass lenses only say ARA at the bottom on the outside. Ive seen some that are close but have a different smooth part that goes under the chrome housing.

tpotter Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 This also goes to a point in the front. If i cant find amber lenses to work are all KD517 lights curved or flat on bottom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 41chevy Posted December 22, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 22, 2015 This is the Harley lens and light assembly. The lens and gaskets are reproduced in Clear, amber, green, blue and red. This is an original for my 1950 H.D. I also have a white lens for it I bought direct from Harley Davidson. Same Guide part number 3 Quote "OPERTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK" Thomas Edison “Life’s journey is not to arrive at the grave safely, in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting ‘Holy shit, what a ride!’” P.T.CHESHIRE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same Guide part number s-l1600 (3).jpgs-l1600 (5).jpgs-l1600 (4).jpgs-l1600.jpgSo at a Harley Davidson store I can give them part# 919137 and they should be able to pull it up? That is exactly what mine looks like. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Part number is 68750-38 Style 'B' They are an obsolete part since 2013 and zero in the the entire dealer system. Last retail price was over $140.00. Sorry for getting your hopes up.
