Is the Lens of the Optronics Backup Light # BU11CS Glass or Plastic

Question:

Is the lens on this light glass or plastic. If plastic will it get too hot and melt if you leave it on, for several hours at a time, such as a driving light with a 1156 amber bulb, please get back ASAP so I can order two of these lights. Thankyou

The Optronics Backup Light, # BU11CS, has a polycarbonate lens. Since it uses an incandescent bulb, I do not recommend using this light as a driving light because an incandescent bulb will build up heat when left on and it is not rated or designed to be used as a driving light.

I recommend using actual driving lights like part # MT80637. These lights are similar in diameter and also comes with its own wiring harness.
