Aqua Signal Nav lights

I currently have the Aqua Signal series 25 nav lights on my boat. They are in good shape but I would like to replace just the lens. Anyone have suggestions on where to find just the lenses? I tried to Google but didn't come up with anything.

Also, I would like to replace the bulbs with LED's. Dr. LED has them but they are around $50. Any other sources for a decent bulb that's a little less costly?

I did some more Googling and found the lens but for just a few dollars more, I can get the whole light, so doesn't make sense to buy just the lens.

I still am looking for a more affordable LED. I'd hate to spend $50 + on a single bulb.

Your call on using an LED replacment bulb in a nav fixture made for incandescent bulbs, but keep in mind that in almost all cases of such replacements, you won't have a Coast Guard approved setup in the end. Which doesn't mean the signal won't work just fine. But in an accident situation, that setup could be a vulnerability to you.

I found Defender to be very helpful in ordering parts for me from Aqua Signal, including some that have had to come from the EU. They seemed to manage to get the special order parts in a regular shipment so the prices were very reasonable.
