Front marker lenses

[KyDSM]

You see clear side marker lights all over the web. The center section is still on the shelves at Mitsubishi and STM. But no one is making the front markers. I don't know why, maybe someone can answer that. I have been searching all over for a nice, almost perfect set but no luck. People have them close to my standards but not quite there. So I have decided to make my own. I'm not converting Nissan parts to fit or anything like that. I am remaking the lenses so they will match my new clear markers and my new center section. I am molding some tinted ones as well. I should have then finished tomorrow night or so.

I don't think I've heard someone ask for clear corner lights since the 90's.



More power to you, interested to see what you do here.

Sounds cool, lets some more pictures.
Me on the other hand, I got lucky and pulled some ridiculously clean ones from a parts car with on 70,000 miles on it!

I failed at vacuum forming these into shape. Better luck next season!

Edit: Ok so my first set which was the clear ones melted in to a blob of goo. I'm guessing I should have went on with the PETG plastic. Well, the black ones came out fine. Don't know if its my cup of tea. The black lenses might look better on the CF hood anf CF headlight covers. What do you guys think? Will be going back to the store to pick up some PETG to attempt the clear lenses once again.

I was test fitting them, so don't freak out since there isn't the backing of the lights. They fit perfect!

Looking good.

Thanks. I don't know how much I'm feeling the solid black though. Might see if the plastic shop has some tinted PETG. If you want to know more on the process on how to make these let me know. You can make these at home with a little know how.


Edit: You can make any other plastic pieces for that fact.
