Yup been there many times, have almost bought some of their clear resin and mold material to try and make some. I've was reading some reviews on their clear resin and most say it turns yellow in the sunlight despite being marketed as UV resistant.

Update...
I have not gotten a reply since the last response that I got which indicated he was going to contact the supplier this past Monday.

When dealing with him concerning the clear tail lights that I wanted, I would sometimes get a response later that evening and then some were 4-5 days later.

I did send a follow-up email on Tuesday night.

Thanks for the link PetesPonies. Thats great info to have. Thanks for sharing!

How about the back housing that holds the bulb or reflective material, would that be created the same way?

Update...

Just checked my email and had this response from the seller.

I inquire and they will take a look and let me know by tomorrow afternoon. the price if available is about $15-17 per set of two (left&right). As soon as they confirm I will let you know thanks

for legal reasons in most states, you cannot...
you have to have a side visible marker light...

And they double for a reflector... actually they probably serve more of a purpose as a reflector than an actual light.

I imagine that is what gets them, there is probably a requirement to get a DOT # that they have to have so big of an big amber reflector in them and since the whole lens is a reflector and the thing is fairly small to start with it is probably right at the limit already.

Probably not enough demand to ship over lights that are technically illegal to be on street.

For someone who seems to like original, I was shocked when I saw your grille and wheels! But hey since you went RETRO on your B2 I can see why the clear lenses would not work for you.

80-81 F-Series/Broncos had them from the factory. They ran amber bulbs, kinda gave them an odd faded amber look.

I can't say it is a look I care for. I like my ambers (and red tails too) :icon_thumby:

Here is the lastest that I have.

I spoke to them and after they took a look they only got about 4 sets of the smoke version and nothing else. I asked about making another run but there is no plan as of today for it. Let me know if you like the smole sets so I can request that they send it over.

I plan to get a set to see how they work out provided they are around the same price he estimated ($15-17). I am waiting a response to confirm this.

If this does not work out, I may go the route PetesPonies recommended.

 

[Lil-Pony]

I will take a set

 

[mic98xlt]

I would like a set of the smoke also. Please add me in.

 

[87steelhorseII]

Ok Lil-Pony and mic98xlt I will let him know.

Hopefully in his response he will let me know how and where he will post and confirm a price. So as soon as I hear back from him, I will post the info here.

He ran out of clear ones but I snagged a set of "smoke" ones from him.

I wasn't too thrilled about them being smoke, but I figured if I don't like them I'll just sell them to another member on here

mic98xlt I just resent you a PM. For some reason it would not let me send you an email.

Twister, yours was the same way. Only a PM.

4.0B2 just checking to see if you emailed James for pics. The one he sent to me looked as though it is clear with silver trim. James did say the marker lights he had, had black trim. He also told me they are still looking too.

How about the tail lights? Those are clear.
