Does anybody have a source for reproduction or good used Bargman 98/99 taillights lenses?
Vintage Trailer Supply doesn't have any at the moment, I was really hoping to buy a set now that I have the lights working.
Thanks, Ian

Ian I have noticed that Fletcher Trailer Sales parts department has an amazing amount of stuff. You might get in contact with them and see if they have what you are looking for in stock.

I just got a notice that VTS has them back in stock. $17 each no less. I already bought repros off ebay.

I have never seen VTS have them in stock and available in 2 years. Better get them now while you can.

I don't even need a set right now, but I'm ordering them just to have some for a future project should the need arise. And yes, that price is great!

We recently bought a pair of these from mooseattack. They are perfectly fine, but just a heads up, these are not NOS Bargmans. They are reproductions that appear to be identical to those offered by VTS. The only difference is that they don't have the Vintage Trailer Supply logo stamped on them. Instead, they are stamped Trailer Lite No. 99 "The Brite Lite" made in USA
I have no problem with using repros and the price is very good, but his description implies that they are Bargman lenses and that is simply not true. Just thought I'd mention it for any hard core purists out there.

Not sure why one would think that these lens are NOS?

The only reason anyone would have to think they are NOS is if you actually thought you were buying Bargman lenses. If they were Bargmans, they'd have to be NOS. The title for the item on ebay is "Pair of Bargman 99 Taillight Lenses for Airstream" and they are described as "Pair of two Bargman 99/98 Wedding Cake style lenses for almost all vintage campers from the late 50's through the 60's". I think that title and description could lead someone to think they were the real thing. So I was pointing out that they are reproductions, because he doesn't mention it anywhere.
They are great looking nevertheless.
