Right hand landing light lens

Where do I find one? I've installed everything else as a mirror image but I can't find anyone who sells a lens for the left side to make me one oversize so I can trim it for the right side. Any ideas??? All I need is the shape of the airfoil and I can trim it to fit the hole.
Is it possible to heat and bend plexiglass without making it cloudy? If so I'll just make my own.

Special ordered one from LP Aeroplastics. Had them make me a LH one oversize so I can trim it down for the right side. I'll try to post some pics when I get `er done.

The lens is easy to make. Build a short section of leading edge using two wooden end forms and a light sheet metal (.016) skin. Cut a piece of clear acrylic
plastic slightly oversize, heat it over the form in the oven at 350 degrees. Trim to size after cooling.
