I do / you can very simply make these yourself. Go to diynetwork.com and there
is a kit you can but to make whatever lens you want. I used this kit before
and had great results

And tooling isn't cheap. They'd probably want a lot of orders first.

So I sat back and re-read the thread only to realize that things aren't as I had previously thought!
I'm definitely still in, but I didn't realize these were only the side/front bumper markers. I'm also lookin' for an IoTus style set of rear tails. I s'pose I could make them, but knowing me and plastic moulding I'd probably end up messing them up. Anybody have a source? I want to "complete the set" so to speak.
And while we're at it, we should probably dig up a source for coloured light bulbs, since I don't think they're available at canadian tire!

yes but not on this run the neXt run will be around May of 06 as I have to ramp up in the buy to make it cheeper on shipping for every one...

I have a set of clear rears, I made them myself... I also had my sides made at a local glass shop, they are not DOT though so if you get in an accident it could be your fault.. Just something to think about.

Just to clarify my last post - these:
Are export model lenses, used in the UK/Australian/NZ and South African market. These are legal requirements for our countries, as we all based our traffic laws on the UK market.
The completely clear lights are illegal in these countries, as regulations stipulate that any turn signal on the front of a vehicle must display either an amber colour (for the front) or an amber or red colour (for the rear). If you have a red coloured rear turn signal, you need a special certificate (usually only for US imported corvettes and the like.. which are very rare here).
The J-spec lenses were completely amber.
