Has anyone lost the colored bezel on their warning lights? I lost my red oil light, and a couple years ago lost my neutral. I bought a replacement then, but wondered if anyone had any creative replacement ideas. I hate spending the $6 or $7 for something glued on haphazardly.
thanks, jeff

Others have lost them, some have gone to places like Radio Shack to get something similar.

I just cut a piece of plastic out and glued it in place. Painted it with the appropriate paint on the inside and was good to go till I could get a replacement. It is now my spare.

Honda uses a bezel less lens on it's atv's that fits well into the factory rubber. They are available flat or domed but unfortunately only in green and red. If memory serves the lens from the honda recon are domed and unprinted while the ranchers and newer foremans use flat lenses some printed some not. Either way they fit tight enough there's no way there coming out without being pried free of the rubber. As for the factory replacement first thing I did when I got it was pop the lens and reglue it along with the other lenses.

Yeah, i've had the neutral one disappear on so I forked out the dough for the oem and used clear silicon to hold it in place. No probs so far fingers crossed. Actually i think I siliconed all of them just in case the disappearing act happened again.

I seem to have to replace at least one of the indicator light covers once a year.
