Do you have the bat wing tips with the "curved" trailing edge (older model, WD-715), or the "flat" trailing edge (current model, shipping for last 13+ years, WD-715-1)?

And, are you trying to find just the clear plastic lenses, like you might use as a replacement part, or a complete lighting kit?

Verified that the same lens is used for either wingtip, they just get trimmed to fit the opening on each. Part number is VA-172-1. Order one, cut in half to make two lenses, then trim to fit.
