I used one of those and was stopped by DPS. I was informed that even tho it says 'dot' or whatever, it was NOT a legal lens becouse it doesn't have reflectors molded into it. I was given a repair order to get reflectors on the back of my bike.
You may remember this story. I charged the officer with harrassment, unjustified stop, failure to know the laws concerning vintage vehicles and failure to know DPS policy on surplus equiptment.(Iwas wearing a surplus DPS helmet) and won!

Hi all,
Can youse guys remember back to the time, long ago, when we talked about
dying the tailight lenses for ambos and eldos?
I think it was Pat Hayes who recommended placing the lenses in hot water
with some kind of a red dye. I don't remember.. CRS disease!
So, anyone know how to make a faded lens red again?
