Opera light & lens discussion

After connecting the battery to my '78 98 after doing a lot of work on it I noticed my opera lights suddenly started working like they should, which wasn't the case before. Probably a bad ground. However the lenses are broken, and I haven't been able to find exact replacements. This leads to the exploration of other options, do I eventually have the whole assembly replaced with some LED solution? Or, would these '79-85 Toronado lenses fit as they seem to be the right shape? Or, are there other lens alternatives?

Those lenses were always bad to yellow and turn chalky. Maybe someone here has a source for them. The Toronado lens has a T on it I believe. They could probably be duplicated on a 3D printer of you can find the right translucent material.
