Maybe (probably) this has been done in the last ten years. But I'd like to improve my rear lights.

Two things:

1. Are reasonably priced rear lenses available? I gave away a NOS set a while back... not my best decision, but not my worst.

2. I'd like to improve the lighting in general. My thoughts are that the 40+ year old reflective paint inside could use brightening. Also, LED technology has gone a long way. Do we have any lessons learned on either?

thanks,
Rusty
