"I have every confidence that i can reverse engineer the existing plastic
parts, and adapt them to fit the new currently available lamps. "

If the "currently available lamps" could also be made to fit the PZwo
housings it would be the best for everyone.  I'm sure there are many folks
out there with PZ kits and broken lenses like me.

For example, the kit is made with a reflector and lens that would also fit
into the PZ housing with an adaptor.

Of course, if the new kit is superior to the PZ one I could just replace the
whole thing.  I just want to make the ones I have work, they were expensive!
