A spare right lens assy that needs a new home. Conditions are as follows:
- chrome bezel has corrosion so in fair condition; I would re-chrome it
- the installed red lens has a through crack ( not usable) the two other red lenses are in good shape but do have minor internal cracks while structurally intact and could use a good polishing
-the two backup light lens (amber and clear) are structurally intact and in good condition but could use a good polishing
-and the two amber turn signal lens (R/L) are structurally sound in good condition with one that has minor scratches while the other none.
There are 2 of 4 threaded fastener in the reverse side of bezel.
Additional photos upon request. Thanks!

$150 OBO plus shipping

Mariusz, thanks for asking.

I’m willing to sell you the frame with the installed/glued in lenses for $75. I don’t feel I can safely remove the two although the red lens is cracked.
Do you have an US address? Thinking shipping charges to Poland from Maryland may be steep.

@mariuszmycz ; Just a hint; as i think you're maybe going to re-chrome the frame.

If so, then do check the fitment of the frame to your body first. I've got 8 frames and 7 of them are deformed due to overtightening of the nuts. this pulls the frame closer to the body, but the seal pushes the frame away from the body. As a result, the soft cast metal deforms a bit, giving a bit of a bend (kink) to the frame. Often the kink is most present at the inner mounting points.

I've sketched the deformation in the attached pic as an example:

I think, but haven't done it before, that the frames can be straightened.
Can anyone confirm that this is possible?

frames are pot metal or zamak,
very dificult+careful straightening
prone to break
 
Very unstalble, grainy material prone to crack. I might be even the bent frames are having micro cracks already (no visible as being hidden behind chrome/nickel/copper plating
