Jason,
My wife and I own a '64 SS Sabre. our clearance light lenses became so faded and brittle that I broke two of them just getting them out of the base mounts. I now have four brand new lenses(2 red & 2 amber) that I made from two separate pieces modified and glued together to form a new lens. They came out so good that only close inspection could reveal their slight differences. I went to our local auto parts store and found lenses that matched the upper part almost perfectly. But these had no flange at the base for retention by the round spring clip, so.....I then found another flat reflector lens that was just the right diameter of the original base flange(these actually had self-adhesive backs). I set these up in a fixture of a small lathe, sticking them to the fixture, and gingerly turned the center out of them. Then I glued the upper lenses to the "base flanges" using epoxy. Voila! Brand new lenses. They really are almost undetectable as copies. I will check on the lens manufacturer and model no's. for these, if you like.

Look for modern LED lights that resemble the original. Much lower current draw and probably never burn out.
