The lense is my biggest obstacle. I dont have access to making a lense as a one off. Also a pure clear one wont look good. I was thinking of just sanding smooth the indicator section and two round curcles I the red section then smoking out the outers.

So they started out life as a standard UK spec, not JDM lights? If I was doing it I would chrome out the insides of the shell and then heat mould over some transparent red acrylic over the brake lights and try and cut in a clear section for the indicators like they do on the JDM tails. That's just me talking though and not actually having to do it  Basically just so it looks modern... hate to use my parent's Rio as an example, but how clean its lights are makes me jelly

they're JDM lights Im using. Its textured on the underside which is why I'm wanting to sand it smooth and polish instead.
