Anthem Classic Docking Light Lenses clouded

After 2 or three attempts to "restore" my clouded docking light lenses (including buying 2 "headlight restore Kits" I found the following best solution.

The lenses restore never worked worth a darn.

Replacing the lenses works great, and is also more economical.

Timely info. I was looking at doing something with one of my docking lights that was clouded. Thanks for the link. Parts ordered.

Great post, some of mine are cloudy too. I was going to try and polish them, this seems a lot easier.

I've replaced all four of the ones on my 2020 Aspire with the replacementboatparts solution, but also picked up some Star brite plastic restorer and a separate plastic polish. I haven't tried the Star brite fix, but the product description seems spot on.

Most folks have already concluded that headlight restoring kits are for a different plastic than our docking lights ...

I'm not 100% sure, but I think the lenses on those docking lights might be polycarbonate, which all the plastics folks I worked with this past summer on assorted boat issues, told me cannot be polished or scratches removed. OTOH, Acrylic plastics can be polished, and I have done so myself very successfully. FWIW this AI assessment describes possible ways to distinguish polycarbonate from acrylic:

Well I went to order some for my 2015 Cornerstone but they must have had a run on them because they are currently sold out.

If a product hits the internet, that is very common.

Don't give up T Roy. With the new market that has discovered them I'm sure they'll be getting more. IMO they are an excellent solution.

Hopefully new pricing doesn't result as a result of their new found market!

I did not give up. I was just now able to order 4 of them. They had 5 in stock and they were the same price.

Caveat emptor

With several of the docking lights on my ’18 Anthem clouded (one has water intrusion), I was excited to see this thread. The image posted in the OP’s first post, although clearly stating “Anthem Classic Docking Light” looked to be an exact match for the docking lights on my ’18 Anthem. When I saw that T_Roy had found them back in stock, I ordered one.

Unfortunately, although it’s close, there’s enough difference that it won’t work. The OEM lens on my ’18 measures 8 15/16” X 4 1/4”. The replacement lens cover referred to in this thread measures 7 3/8” X 3 15/16”. Further the replacement lens cover does not have the “innovative ‘Eyebrow Accent’. Bottom line, for my ’18 Anthem, anyway, is that the lens cover listed in this thread won’t fit.

Perhaps it will fit on a “Classic”. I just don’t know. IF you’d like to try it, drop me a PM with your mailing info and a commitment to cover the shipping cost and I’ll have it on the way. OBTW, the docking lights and the lens covers have a distinct left and right; my lens cover is for the right (passenger) side. The difference between the left and right, as far as I can tell, is that the set screw to hold the stainless cover in place is on the bottom when correctly installed. If you install it on the ‘wrong’ side, that set screw will be on the top of the light fixture. The one I have to offer is designed for the Left side.

The exact OEM replacement complete assembly (L/R pair) for my '18 Anthem is available here: https://www.itc-us.com/marine/side-m...-back-up-light for $121.28 + $18.99 to ship. It’s not listed in their on-line catalogue, so you might email: support@itcshopnow.com Mollie will get the process started.

Take care,
Stu
