Spreader Light Lens

I'd replace both with a LED version. Smaller, brighter and easy to do.

I agree with Fishtales. I went with Coastal Night Lights LED. Been doing business with them for awhile.

My boat came with the larger Hella halogen lights that I swapped out with LED about 10 years ago. They work great, but the cases are starting to flake. Santa brought me a pair of Wave One white dual color (white/blue) spreader lights. 6 leds vs the 5 on the ones I have on the boat. Will pop on as part of my spring prep. Hoping the blue matches the Lumitec light bars that I have under the gunnels and the blue bulbs in the GW cockpit lights.
 
Fellas, it sounds like the OP is just wanting to replace what he has and not swap out his current lights to LED's. To the OP, your light appears to be a Jabsco 45900-3000, of which you might be able to buy a replacement lens, though the replacement lenses look slightly different from the one that you have. Luckily, the entire light housing itself seems to be in stock still, though they're pretty limited as to where you can buy them. Obviously double check before purchasing with regards to the dimensions and so forth, but from what I can tell, this appears to be the same light as yours, or at least very similar looking. If it's not identical, I'm guessing yours is at least the Jabsco brand, which should narrow things down quite a bit. Good luck either way.

The tungsten halogen bulb produces 9900 bulb candlepower. 12 volt DC. A unique trapezoidal light beam from a specially designed lens provides excellent and even floodlight coverage.

Ignore Mustang BS. Install a simple LED upgrade. Inexpensive and effective.
 
Yikes... just giving the OP the information that they specifically asked for. And with that, bowing out now so as to not potentially derail yet another thread. Good luck to the OP with your project/search.

if you want to spend some money to replace the lens then Mustang posted a link what may work, if not then you wasted money for it.
I agree with the others to replace the whole light with a LED model is probably the better decision, my Hella on my Hardtop start to fail and i will replace it with a LED model for power consumption reasons.
However, LED lights need a metal housing to dissipate the heat they generate and the housings are mostly powder coated what leads to flaking as Fishtales already mentioned. Also the ones i had from WM leaked shortly after i mounted them on the Venture 34 and sending back from Costa Rica to WM was too expensive so it was a shitty deal i made. Should you opt for LED then do a in-depth research about how long the hold and remain nice looking to avoid spending money for crap. Lumitec has a good name for LED lights, but they are rather pricy or you just buy the cheap ones and replace them after they fail or look ugly.

As others have said, LED is the way to go. My guess is buying just a lens is going to be costly, if it is possible. Might be possible to source a complete old light someone removed. But, why go through all the work and effort to end up with 20 year old technology again? LED spreaders are not that expensive, are a quick install, and are just better than the old style. FWIW - I went with Taco Spreader lights on my boat a couple years ago.
 
I bought a pair of inexpensive LED's at a FL marine fair. Lasting over 10 years now. Lower current draw and much easier on the GW dome light switch.

Amazon has them a low as $20/pair. Some are two color as well.
