I recently had the score of a lifetime on eBay. Snagged a pair of guide lights and mounts for a ten/fifteen. However, it doesn’t come with lenses. Is there a certain size lense for this style of light? And are there any companies that sell aftermarket parts for restoring these lights?

The lens should say guide tractor light but you can use model A ford lens
I think way back Bill Santos was making repops and using Model T headlight lenses and grindig off the “ Ford” script
9” guide ray lenses. Type guide ray headlight into eBay and look for the 9” ones. How did I miss those
Naylorbros, pure luck of the draw. I found these when I got onto eBay in the “Picks for You” section, saw it was a bid or buy it now kind of listing, it had 15 saved for later and 5 currently watching the bid. I figured someone else would buy them outright before the bid was over so I swallowed hard and just bought them. It was probably my greatest eBay find.

Sometimes buy it now is the way to go if you really want it. I am still very jealous of your find. I just paid 400 for the rear light for my L Twenty and I need two like you found for the front of it. I have plenty of lights, I need the brackets
Thankyou for the link!

I have to admit I was wrong. Those lights would say Guide Ray the flat can style slightly newer ones say Guide tractor lens

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
