So, most Grisos appear to have the broken light with age quirk. I came back from meeting Tim Henry few hours south to a randomly hanging rear light. After considering taping and various replacement lights, Tim told me it was a bad idea to go to LED's, given look and potential electronic issues. Luckily, he found something he's also using on Amazon. Cheap and it looks pretty good, I think.
The link is [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] on amazon. $18 for a pair and it's a close match in shape, only blacked out instead of chrome finish. Personally, I like it more than the original.
On another note, the well nuts occasionally failing are far cheaper online and I picked up a bag of M5 for less than $10....perfect match for the wing connections... (one of mine failed). Just search for well nut and M5. Worth a bag for any future fail or loss.[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]

And here I thought that Ed riding (my old) GRiSO upside down was the cause.
Makes sense; never happened on my watch while riding on the wheels.
Seriously, Ed, enjoyed the phone chats on all of this today.

Not sure, really, but when I see it, if I'm at my computer, I download the pictures and flip them in Photoshop and save the right-side-up version, then post. I can't do it on my phone though so, sometimes I don't get it done.
