Clear parking lite lenses

[dbebb55]

Hi kids...Anyone had problems with Reproglas. I ordered a set of clear lens from them a week ago and requested a conformation of my order. I haven't heard a peep since. I assume they're on the level, but I'm starting to get a little worried...using a credit card freaks me out!!!

I have used them and they did not send me a mail back straight away. But all turned up fine. Looked really good.

Stuart... Thanks for the post. I feel better. I'm looking forward to getting them installed. Really like the looks of the all clear lens. Great pic of your Noble.

Dave,

I ordered some from them also about 6 months ago.

I think they did eventually send a confirmation but it wasn't real quick IIRC. Took about 3 weeks to get them and I am very happy with them.

How can I get a hold of Reproglas? I would like to order the clear lenses too for my 91SE. Are they in the U.S? I ordered a pair from Jeff @ JAE about 6 months ago but he's having a hard time with his supplier.

Scott...I found them at www.reproglas.com Click on the large blue "R".. I believe they're in Sweden. Kinda pricey, but I had to hacve them. As you know, A Lotus is a large hole in your garage floor to throw money into.
Good luck

Has anyone sourced clear sidemarker lights (I'm in the USA)? Mine ('89 Stevens) are marked SEIMA 4583 but they don't seem to be available anywhere, in clear or otherwise.

If they'll fit, I think the clear, oval fender(wing)-mounted directional repeaters on recent VW and AUDI models would look nicer than the rectangular SEIMA markers. Of course, the SEIMAs do much to preserve the "parts-bin" originality of the Esprit.

Yours aye,

Not sure about your model side repeaters but the V8 models use the Renault 5 side repeaters around £20 from R-Tec 01727 790100

Tom,

I used the MHW clear lights of the BMW 3 series (ca. 25 Euro). The result and what you have to do you can see on www.lotus-esprit-se.de

Ebay in the UK has them up for Auction...

Thanks for this info, but older USA cars don't have directional repeaters and these are not what I am asking about. Sorry if my question was not clear.

USA cars require "side markers" which are an amber light near the front bumper and a red one near the rear. USA Esprits have them between the wheel well and the bumper; there have been a few posts asking how to remove these for painting etc.

I was suggesting that clear directional repeater assemblies from other cars might be a more attractive substitution for the rectangular factory USA sidemarkers. Same idea as replacing the black plastic rear license plinth to lose that 80s look.

Namaste,

No, just the lenses. Have to buy amber bulbs.

Cheers,
