Be careful now what you say about them, the last time a picture of this car was shown and someone made the comment how good it looked, the post's came out of the woodwork how "rice" this Looked and how "rice" that looked, seem's there is a small segment of very vocal folks who don't like anything that isn't box stock, to me, to each his own. I think it looks great, and if I can find the lenses mine will look just like it.

Hey Bob, how's things going? I saw these while Josh had them and was very tempted to buy them, but couldn't figure out either a best way to remove the existing lens to replace with the clear. They do look great though! Goodluck with them!

Doing well Jason. I have one stock husing casualty from my cooking escapades earlier today. I'm very patient and i'm sure someone here has an easier way. How's your beast doing these days?

Default Where to buy the clear tail light lens?

I bought a set of these a while back and when I tried to add my flush kit cracked one and another one has a scratch......

The guy I bought them from is no longer in buisness, and I cannot find a supplier. Does anyone know where I can find 2 of them...or 4 if they are sold in sets.

Thanks!

try baking it @ 225. make sure that you keep checking it, because the plastic will start to warp. it should be ready any where from 8 to 15 min. you need to try to pry it apart every couple of min. the reason you need to do this is because you want to separate them when the glue is ready and before the plastic starts warping. it's going to be tough to do and you're going to need strong fingers. never use metal to pry (i.e. flat head screw driver), it might chip the plastic. good luck!!
