Now that I have both metal covers for my bow navigation lights, I have gotten ready to install them on my Outrage 18 and find the plastic lights are all pieced together with some really poor glue.

The only marks I can see in them is: A16 WC or CW (each letter overlaps the other like a logo might) I assume the A16 means it complies with that USCG rule. No part number or names, inside or out. They did fit nicely under the metal covers.

The lenses can be a problem if they are totally shattered.

Otherwise this article may help.

It seems I am not the "searcher" or have the knowledge you accomplish!

The bases are severely cracked in multiple places. The wiring doesn't look much better, as I suspected.

The W C question was answered.

Are these original lights? I hate to toss the plastic pieces out if there is some value or hope for restoration.

I would do everything I could to save the plastic lenses and use the original covers.
