    Could be wrong, though.
    exactly. i did manage to get one made. pictures as soon as a) i can find some AA batteries for the camera, or b) my phone decides it will hold a charge long enough to take a picture. All i did was place a sheet of plastic over the lense after heating it in the oven. i got it to the basic shape, than used my heat gun and scroll saw to get it closer. im thinking with an orange bulb and reflector in there, it should be legal

    That's is a interesting idea. I like the videos on it. Simple enough, I wonder if I could make it look pro quality

    The tail lights are dope but what im really in love with is the look of the clear lenses in front. I've been looking on ebay, not the easiest thing to buy, I've also been looking for similar shapes and designs at the JY trying to find a local car that will just swap. Integra is close but not there.

    didn't he just say he was working on making lenses

    Pop off the stock covers, and make a strip heater to make your own from some polycarbonate sheet. Then you can either get red and amber bulbs or stick some universal red and amber lights inside so it's still legal.

    Here's one.
