When you say "blinker lens" I assume you refer to the orange piece. It
looks to me like it can be removed from the larger clear plastic part
from the back of the unit. It appears that the unit was originally put
together by the use of some sort of heated tool that melted the plastic
to form tabs that hold the clear part into the chrome ring and also the
orange part into the clear part. I think I can either use a bit of epoxy
to hold the parts together or maybe heat the end of a bolt or something
similar and melt the plastic near the original spots to create new tabs.
I shall see how this works in due course. Right now I am trying to get
an adjustment on the price given that the condition was not accurately
disclosed and I have advised that I am not happy with them. They were
advertised as being in good condition and the photos did not show the
pitted chrome or the one spot that is broken. I think I can use them if
I can salvage the inside plastic bit but I had not planned on having to
do that. Based on the description and photos, I thought I would be able
to just put them on the car and have my old ones as potential spares. Oh
well, nothing in life is perfect I guess.

I have not been able to get the lower lens out. The back of the blinker comes
off easy. You might be able to dremel tool the tabs holding it in and somehow
mate it to the good chrome. Try removing the blinker lens from the good
chrome. See how that works and you might be able to learn about what you need
to do to get the good lens off and swapped onto where it wants to go.

Is there a way to remove the plastic from the chrome?
My car has good chrome but a badly cracked plastic part on the passenger side.
I bought a pair of these on ebay but unfortunately, the chrome is not as good
as those that I already have.
There is a fair amount of pitting on the top of the chrome trim part on the
ones I got from ebay.
I have been looking at them and trying to determine if there is some trick to
taking the plastic part out of the chrome part.
Anyone been there and done that?
