I am selling a set of lenses for the Five-0 dash light. Its a pair of the clear lenses/domes for the light, an inner and outer piece. These are new, aftermarket. I ran a set in one of my lights for 35-40 min without any issues. Lightly burned my finger on the cover, it got hot!

I did have to remove the protective film to fit and avoid heat related issues for testing. The set will likely have finger smudges and dust on them and need cleaning before use. The clear material is a pain to get perfectly dust free. I replaced the lenses on both of my display lights with these (one was broken and the other just looks better).

I do have one rear blackout cover but it falls very short of my standards so I am not actively listing them for sale yet. I can and hope to order/sell more lenses as I feel they are up to par. I doubt there is a big market for the lenses/blackout cover so I will only be offering a couple at a time.

This set is the actual set you will be receiving. On the left is an OEM set I removed/replaced from one of my lights and on the right is the exact set you will receive (also shown installed).

This 1st pair of lenses is $25 (USPS moneyorder) shipped to most locations in the US via the postal service. I would sell the blackout cover I have for an additional $5 with thes lenses, looks nice for display but fails the install/preformance requirements. I can get into those details wth you if you purchase the lenses.

If you are serious about wanting a blackout filter or set of lenses just let me know. I will order more as needed.

They only made them clear then put color filters between them. I have considered ordering the correct color filters in vrious colors to offer for sale but I am not sure I could even break even if I did that.

Could you possibly use colored stage lighting gels cut to fit between? It's dirt cheap, comes in every color imaginable, and is heat resistant up to something like 350°F

Yes, especially for display use. They do fade with heat over time but that's with a lot of use.
Getting the correct (or close to it) color could be challenging though as they come in a large number of shades.
