They are truly great !

It is refreshing to see this degree of originality, in this age of internet and credit card orders.

This reminds me of what the old Hot Rodders must have experienced when they were modifying their "flathead Fords" back in the '50s (way before my time).

I am really impressed and congrats .

Nice looking lights. Love these lights better than the c5-r bubble or mud skipper lights. One thing though; I work with acrylic everyday and let me tell you that those buggars scratch very easily. You might want to protect them somehow. Otherwise great job, love the look.
