l.e.d. mkIII tail light?

[kamikazemkiii]

Their was a similar thread on this on SM not too long ago, people said brad aka tedikus has spent 1000+ dollars on the led setup.

Thanks a lot for the intel'. I'm not too suprised at that. I was planning on being in the neighborhood of $500. I suppose the next question is if there is anyone who can make clear lenses that I could fit to the factory light shroud. I am willing to send out the original lenses for molding.

[shaggy]

wondering if you have pictures of the mkII for sale? that is you right?

If anyone were to mass produce the LED tails it'd knock the price down... the problem is that there still wouldn't be enough buyers to make that sort of investment break even.

You looking for clear lenses to replace the original or are you looking for covers? Cover's are easily fabbed by vacuum forming, replacement lenses would need to be cast. There's a guy in the UK who has posted a bit on SM about the clear signal and marker lights he fabricates... VERY good looking products. He takes the original, makes a mold and then casts an exact replica in clear. If you don't want the retroreflector though, I don't know if he'll be able to help. He goes by Wolfie something... Just search "wolfie clear signal" or something along those lines and you should be able to find his threads.

I dont for get i dont think our allowed to alter the tailights from stock form, or thats what someone said

[shaggy]

yeah i was meaning a casted replica lens in clear. Is there anyone in the U.S. making them possibly?

[Bill UK]

There's also this guy cre, Link and Link for led`s, link to Wolfie308 UK thread .

Thanks Bill I forgot about Dupra... probably because looking at his interior makes me want to claw my eyes out... but yeah, might be worth asking him.

Heh, mkiiisupra.net is the ONLY site I have EVER been kicked out of... I think it's because I'm in the US... the message I got just said I didn't meet their requirements... oh well, their loss... wankers.
