yeah i made those and the ones for the front parking lights as well . basically i went to home depot and bought this acrylic/plastic lens sheets and trace and cut using a dremel, and grinding wheel. it takes a few tries but ive done harder ones of these. if yo uever see a newer mercury cougar 01 and up . the orange reflectors on those are very hard and i made a set of them . i think i have a few pics here http://cougardb.com/car.php?id=Knibbs. if you can see how the headlights are i molded those to fit .. took some time but they came out pretty nice . they are pretty reflective. although to bring out the clearity in them maybe throw some hyper white bulbs and reflective tape behind it . ill be doing that in the summer time when i get a chance. oh yeah .. btw i forgot . but some of the parking lights are molded to their backing ,, some arent. you can to use a heat gun and razor blade and small flat headed screw drivers to pry them apart. then there is a rubber spacer in there.. you have to slightly sand them down. it took a few trips from the car to the grinder to get this to work . im working on easier methoods. but over they chance the look of the car nicely

That is a bunch of B.S. I tried every year car I have, 87 NA, 87 TII, 88 TII, 91 Vert, 90 Vert. I melted 3 markers. ALL OF THEM ARE MOLDED OF PLASTIC IN THAT COLOR. The pigment is in the plastic. If there was a "an orange to peel off", then I would have seen it when I cut a marker down the middle. All of it is orange plastic. I also tried the rear markers, the red ones, same thing. The bigger front markers, in the bumber, same thing. I'd pay for the others.

clear signal lens

Anybody like the look of these................I might be able to make some more if there's interest. They're re-worked lenses from a different 'not-to-be-named' model car

Those are pretty trippy man. If you were to make some more how much would you think of charging?
