The blue high beam indicator lens on my S2A is missing & it's been driving me nuts trying to come up with something that would be a suitable replacement. Anyone else run into this or have a suggestion?

You could always buy a crappy dash with good lenses in it and pop them out.
Lots of them sold at ebay all the time.
But if you want a real nice look, put colored LEDs under the colored lenses.
Wanna talk about bright lights?
It would kill a Gremlin, thats for sure. :mrgreen:

That part is sometimes officially called a jewel and seems to be priced accordingly! :o 8-) Good luck in you quest to secure one... :thumbup:

The S2 model has the "jewel" in the top of the headlight like the H2 and older models did.
The S2A has a dash on the instrument pod with colored lenses in it.

Those little plastic lenses can be popped right out and in to another dash.
Thats why I suggested he buy a beater cheaply and take the lenses out.

The blue lens always seems to be missing on the ones I have found.

Found 2 in the shop today while cleaning up a bit.
One red and one green. I think I gave the blue one to someone last year.
Sorry. You would be welcome to one if I had it.

Are the "jewels" or just the color lense interchangeable with later H1 models?
