Thanks Bruce! I may do a quick write up, but in my haste I didn't take many pictures

I actually had plans for making some. I considered buying up old amber side markers (got a few sets), vacu-forming clear lenses and attaching them to the OEM base plate.
However, I doubt that any vacu-formed plastic would be hard enough.
I kind of stalled on the idea. I really wanted to use CCFLs, but for some reason, they are impossible to find in amber.

I have my old set of amber side markers still sitting in that old pcar parts box. I'll ship those to you just so you have more to prototype onto
