Default $67 Clear Side Markers

How many would be interested in clear side markers for $67 shipped? Manufacturer requires at least 6 orders for mould to be made. Turnaround time is 7 days...

Are these flat or humped like the European lens? The price for 1?

Understand that the front and rear markers require 2 different molds, they are NOT the same!

These will be a "new" product.. modeled after the US versions of markers.. Price is for a pair.

This has been discussed on our Owners Group facebook page. "you can" fit the fronts in the rear slots with some bumper modification where they lock in. Ideal will be to get enough wanting front and rear to make them exact fits.

What material are they made from?
Are they poured or injection moulded?

Thanks, they look good. Are we talking lenses or complete assemblies? Any chance there will be license plate lenses too?

I was informed "full assemblies".. I didn't want to cut mine apart and glue new lenses either..


Looks like we have 4 on board on facebook for complete front and rear. Which should mean a couple more committed and we could get exact fits for the rear markers.


And just a side note.. these are originally being posted as the "clear" markers.. I did notice on his page he does do a smoke tinted lens. Once the required number is met.. and molds are made.. I can't see where a set in tinted would be an issue.


Oh.. and I'd bet he'd be more than happy to mold up new plate lenses with enough ordered to cover his mold making time..

Jobiggs who started this thread will be the contact on these. I'm just on board and helping where I can on this. He purchased some lenses for another car of his, and that's where the idea started up. I'll work with him as needed / wanted here on the forum.

Put me on the list. I'd be interested in a front and rear set if they include the full asembley.
Thanks for spearheading this project.

So a set of these with the Euro lens, left and right is $67? The sample lenses shown are the lenses, ours are bonded together. Are we going to have to separate the lens from the body and glue the new lens to the old body?
$67 seems awfully cheap for anything more than the lens if the original minimal quantity still stands.
The faces of the old and new parts would have to be pretty accurate to match properly.
