Hi you guys over there.........
Thought I'd start a new thread re my latest novelty......clear door marker lenses which can be fitted with a variety of LED options. Some guys in the U.K are fitting these with blue LED's (illegal before you point it out)... but cool when matching your interior lighting. Lenses only, £22/pair delivered to your door - you can probably buy the LED's over there cheaper than I can You might think WHY ? ........ because it's different of course. Let me know what you think. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() -------------------- Has your car ever been on T.V? Mine was used in the opening sequences here - note the clear turns and front LED's

Nice.
Is it the same guy that makes the clear turn lenses for both the ST/GT and GT4 models? Because they are of outstanding quality/precision. -------------------- JDM Powerplant installed, BPU coming very soon!

sorry to ruin things here but anyone can buy them clear from Toyota for about $9 a side. They are the EXACT same as what we already have except NOT RED, they are clear.
they are from a Tundra, part # 81231-0C010 and here are some pics of them in my car with a blue LED ![]() ![]() more info here http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=30438 -------------------- |

Thanks for info guys, out of curiosity, I'll see if I can order them through my U.K dealer where I buy all my original Toyota units from. Even if they are available, they'll probably work out in £'s about the same as I'm charging
Tiny detail - mine have a different pattern to the lens if you look closely -; See what you mean about those Ricey looking side markers - don't suit the original styling cues of the car....IMHO However, making this type of unit is much harder than lenses alone. I'm currently working on a similar type of construction for the Mk3 Supra. Added problem is that these are handed, so after deciding how to cut them, I then have to make 4 moulds to make a pair of them. I'm still trialling different products to try and ensure an invisible glue line which remains waterproof. Even I sort the technical issues, they will be very labour intensive and I can't see them working out at less than £50/pair - more than most people would pay Anyway, below is a pic of my first prototype which gives you an idea............. ![]() ![]() ![]() And here's what they look like on the metal.......note the OEM style clear front indicator/sidelight lens as well.....another world exclusive from the Lensmeister ![]() ![]() -------------------- Has your car ever been on T.V?

Man, your work is awesome!
I got your clear front indicators via Sven here in the Netherlands, they are perfect. I just love the OEM look of it, plus there are no aftermarket lenses for that. ![]() Thanks, and I'm think I'll be ordering the door marker lenses soon! |

Very easy to damage them if you don't know your oven ![]() I have a few pairs of original clusters, so I could supply them complete, but shipping ain't cheap - last ones cost me nearly $100 to send, plus all the paperwork, online booking etc as I don't have an account direct with a courier like DHL, U.P.S Pic below shows the unit dismantled prior to chrome spraying the internals before fitting the clear lens, reassembling and polishing ![]() -------------------- Has your car ever been on T.V?
