Morning all,

Here's a pic I received yesterday from Jente in Holland who said

' I am very happy with them. They fit perfect. You may use this picture on the forum. '




Nice one Jente

I now have stock available to order and am shipping all orders with pair of amber AND pair of silver bulbs.

Am interested to look at any other Celica variant where a clear OEM option is not available.

then you should tackle the side markers next!! cuz the diamond cut ones are no bueno.

I never minded the diamand cut corners. There lights look really good. What's the price on them?

Hi Bud,

Price is .....£75 inc 2 pairs bulbs, shipping and my PayPal costs.

Not cheap, but they are individually hand cast and I reckon as close to OEM as anybody's going to get.

Will post more pics later

Richard

You're talking about price in Euro's, and you use the word "reckon." That's a word my people use. Us back woods West Virginia people. How much is that in US currancy? And is it even going to be avalable to poeple in the US? 1 euro is like 2 dollars, I think. Is that really $150?

I like the diamonds too, but i just think they dont match the other lights unless you have projectors. Id like to have the sidemarkers, turn sigs and headlights all match....

Hi there,

Price is £75 Sterling not Euros which works out around $132 Dollars US. Please bear in mind that these were produced wholly at my expense without a guarantee of any sales. If I knew the market would yield several hundred sales, then the price would be probably less than $100. If I could sell a thousand, then I'd get them made by injection moulding and they'd probably be less than $50.

My lenses are an exact copy of the originals, so you can't get any more 'factory' than that. Also this is not a hobby anymore - it's what I do full time.............and you have to sell a lot of lenses to make a living if you live in the U.K !

In the meantime, I'll speak to some guys over here about the side markers. I have a feeling the lens may be glued/welded to the backings, which means separating them from the backings will be a lot harder. Again an item like this would be better made by an industrial process, as the labour/material cost to do it the way I do, would make them too expensive to be able to sell.

Your Celica lenses look very good, wolfie308. I'm tempted to order some from you.
However, is it possible to make the lens clear as to match projector headlights? I would certainly order those!

Another question: would it make a difference if I set up a little something with the Celica owners club here in the Netherlands?
I figure I could get an order for ten pair if you could drop the price a little.

hey wolfie,

have you sold enough to drop the price a lil yet? ... its soo expensive for my canadian dollar..lol

Hi Sven,

Sorry I specialise in replicating the original look in as close to OEM quality as I can. Creating a new lens design from scratch I have to admit, is not viable for me. Regardless, they will definitely clean up the look of your car.

Kash,

Have to admit sales have been slow although all feedback has been excellent. Will consider lowering price in coming months, really dependent on volume of work on other projects.

droped price = more sales = better income

~snap

lol .. thats what i learned in business class

add me to the proyect, I want my turn signal clear, look for a mexican company, is a lot less expensive jeje.

Those clear inidicators look unbelievable! Excellent work!

I would love to get a pair but the price in $AUD is just not justifiable at this point in time...

Mailed Richard about clear corners some time ago. Heard nothing else since then. Could he be on a vacation?
