Id be very interested if you can get them done, and for a reasonable price.

They can be painted in chrome as well so they would look just like the project F lights.

I'm down if you get them and they look good!

ok guys, looks like there will be interest in these, i've already spoken to my supplier, he needs to look at the stock lights to tell me if its possible or not -so far looks like he can make them though. first of all we'll make up a few designs and then do a poll on the most popular one and make a sample from there and go into a proper group buy. it is goin to a take a bit of time so be patient . will update u guys this weekend when i visit him. oh btw these will not come finished, u will need to paint them to suit your car colour or will come in a carbon fibre finish at an extra cost.

the project f ones are crome finished or in black and have a plastic cover on top of them giving them the lexus light look, these will be made out of fibre glass and just have round pod lights. wait till i get a design made to show u guys. replicating the project f would be hard coz i'll need a set of project f ones to make them which i dont have :cry:

As long as they don't wind up looking cheap and tacky, I'm down for a pair with a carbon fibre finish...

But I'd also be more interested in the Project F style, as a few people have mentioned... Why would you need Project F lights to replicate it? They look like stock lights with a clear cover instead of red and chrome finish around the bulbs. Surely it wouldn't be hard if they had a normal set and a picture or something? I dunno, I have no idea how they do it...

its just a plastic covering
a chrome backing
and some lights inside

why not make them similar to this, that way no need for colour coding,and this way peeps can buy them ready to install

just a thought

It's hard because they have design rules they're supposed to adhere to when making light covers.
