For the price as a new single lens have you considered relapsing all 4 with the used X308 lenses from the scrapper which are much brighter ( appearance not light performance ) and cleaner . You will need the plastic base ( item not numbered in pic ) behind the lens rear silver reflector dish that it snaps into . Different bulbs ?

Look at your orientation as the " V " brand lettering is up . Spray some penetrating oil on the 3 release palls and let soak overnight as they get stuck and you don't want to break them without doing this . Use a long screwdriver to pry them off in that small recess where to 2 pieces meet . If you get the 2 top palls off the bottom one can be popped off by hand but is preferred to use the long screwdriver on that bottom one as the whole mounting base can break , old plastic . The chrome rim must be oriented as well with the use of a piece of tape maker . The filler between the 2 inboard and out board lens assemblies can be removed .
