That's the one Joe...seeing the comments from 7 years ago, I assume there are no new parts being made today.
If anybody has the lenses, please let me know!

Marine Part depot sells a replacement light kits for the this model light. While not the OEM Wilcox Crittenden lights, I bought a set and they are a good product for the money and were exactly the same sizes. I would contact them to see if they would sell you just the lens. I have bought from them a bunch of times and have been very happy with their parts and customer service.

Yes they are still in business and that should be their voicemail. That said, I have always corresponded through email with them.

Joe, After inspecting them in person, I could not find a specific reason or obvious higher grade of quality to spend the $80 extra the specialty one's to be honest. Hence why I went the route I did...
creichart,
I do have a complete and refurbish set of later model OEM Wilcox Crittenden lights if you wanted to head that route. Those will have a higher price tag though...

Thanks Jeff for the offer...will see if the lenses accept spray paint for quick, cheap fix for the moment.

I thought you just needed the covers?
Are you saying now you also need the lenses?

Yes, the actual red and green plastic lenses...sorry for the confusion...covers are in solid shape as are the bases.

I am not familiar with the base?
I am only aware of 2 parts.
1. The Red or Green Lens
2. The Cover
Do you have a photo of the base?

jvc,
What was wrong with the 3 sets?

Boat isn't handy right now, but the black "base" is screwed to the deck and the light socket sits in there The lens sits on top of the base, and the cover screws into the base, holding the lens in place.
Maybe mine isn't OEM, but that's what's there!

So I ended up spray painting the lenses inside and out, and they are doing the trick. HOWEVER!!....the starboard wire was totally disconnected from the light and had no slack in the line, so the only way to get a connection was to solder them. Question - how can I run a new wire? With no slack, I have no way of connecting a chaser line. Does the 22 use a channel or go under the rubrail? Any advice would be much appreciated as I'd like to install fresh lines this winter.
