I leave mine in but hook the battery charger up to it and plug it into
the garage door opener light. that way every time the door is used it
gets 3.5 minutes of charge. seems to work.

<pre wrap="">Hi,
The plastic (plastic?) lens in my oil pressure indicator light
just shattered one day recently (well, a few months ago), leaving
behind a little ring of red plastic still glued into the aluminum
threaded top.
I priced replacements from the one vendor at the NY National, but
thought $20.00 or whatever he was charging was spendy for a pilot
light, and besides, I just needed a lens.
Being cheap AND resourceful, I went to Radio Shack and bought a
"Jumbo 10mm Red LED", part 276-0214 for $2.49. I used my Dremel
to cut off most of the "plastic lens", about 1 mm above the surface
of the actual LED. The LED part I threw in my junk box. I polished
the bottom of the cut off lens (to remove the cutting marks and
improve light transmission) and I had to file off a few thousandths
(20? 30?) around the circumference so that it would fit into the
aluminum top of the pilot light. (I had to pick out the bits of
plastic from the old lens, first, of course). Then I glued my new
lens in with Goop (great stuff!).
The light from the lens is more of an orange than a red, but since
the oil pressure light isn't on much, I don't care. The new
lense looks fine on the dash board, though if you look closely
you can see that it's shape is more rounded than the other lenses,
which have a sort of flat top.
I think the labor to make the lens probably was equal or less than
the labor of opening up the dash to replace the old idiot light,
especially since I have a Bates fairing on my bike that makes working
in there a little tight.
Say, anybody know the email address of the TIPS editor?
