Clear door marker lenses with LED's....... Options

[wolfie308]

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.

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

Agree I have them from Toyota too and they are perfect

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
