Iam currently having these made to replace the orange part of the rear cluster. This will complete the whole exterior as many have already done the fronts and sides.
This will be ready next week hopefully and I will have my car on show at Donnington if anyone is interested to have a butchers.

This can be supplied just as parts only or I can do an excahnge basis incase owners don't want to try a seperate their original orange lenses. It can be a tricky process but most can do it.
I will also be stocking the clear front indicator lenses for the S4 onwards when I get the rears through.

WOuld this interest anyone?

Hi Dave

I'm almost certainly going to attack the ass of mine with the 2002 mod sooner or later. However this sounds like a cheap/quick/dirty/easy mod for the short term.

I'd love to see some pics and an idea of pricing when you're ready.

Hi all, I won't be getting them back until next week. The company is called Reproglas or Radicast in Sweden where you buy your fronts from. Once they have made the first set, you can buy direct from them or from me in UK for same price. Iam willing to send elsewhere in the world too. I will also mount a set of clears into a light cluster and have in stock incase owners don't want to try fitting themselves.
I will also add an install guide on LEW.

As soon as I have the lenses I will post pictures same day!

The old ones are glued in place, do you simply break them out?

Sanj,

The way ot so it properly is to submerge your light unit into boiling water. Then the lenses just pulls out without any damage. You could always revert back to amber at any time.
Of course this can be dangerous using boiler water so this is why I've offered an exchange basis.

Guys, just have receive email from Radicast who have made my clear rear indicators lens up. Pics are actually my lgiths to go on car this week when I receive them.
I had nothing to do with setting the price, it's tooling costs from Radicast. It's taken them much longer to make.
As you can see it does make the rear lights look up-to-date without the need for painting costs for round light conversion.
Will have my car at the PNM at the Lotus show next month for people to see.
I will also have a few supplies of these and the fronts for people to buy. I can also supply to order for the same cost as Radicast.

Nice one Dave, looks really good. I had a friend ask me not so long ago if it were possible to remove each part in there. He had a cracked lens and was going to pull it out. It looked in the too hard basket to me. Well least I know now how to attempt this. (wearing massive thick rubber gloves of course )

Dave,

I like it and plan to order them. I'm probably in the minority, but I prefer the square Toyota rear lights to the round ones so a conversion is not for me. However, I'd take clear rear lights over amber anyday.

I posted this on the other forum as well, but did you ever get the clear side markers for the USA cars? I'd really like to have these to eliminate all my amber lights. When we discussed this a few weeks ago you were ordering the factory amber version to duplicate.

Thanks for any info,
Brian
