Maybe tell us more about the dilemna (Hobbs or Guide) as well as what you found online.
Have you found a bezel of either type?
Looking for replacing with original, or just to get a work light?

Sure. The old bezel is dried up and cracking and the bulb was burned out. To remove the bulb I had to remove the bezel. Before I replace the bulb, I want to have a replacement bezel. So I did some searching online and found what looks like two main options: Guide style and Hobbs style. I’m just looking to restore light capacity at most minimal cost and hassle. Here are the two options at Steiner. So far I can’t tell from looking at my existing light which style it is.

Okay, then I'd suggest Amazon for an LED work light.. get two for $18 and can't beat the amount of light. I put these on my tractor.

The name should be stamped on the bezel. I know for sure Hobbs are stamped, I would think would be for Guide as well. As for buying aftermarket bezels I have had no luck. They don't seem to fit. I have purchased JD replacements and will say that's not cheap. Probably double the price of what you listed. I'll see what my 4430 has on the cab and get a picture for you.
