oh and another thing..i read the how-to about making your own clears http://www.6gc.net/index.php?action=howto&itu=2...has anyone tried this with clear plexi?? I was planning on getting some from a hardware store around here and substituting that for the lighting material. and maybe painting the inside of the lene a kandy red so it is still semi-transparent, then get some 3000 and scuff/buf the outside of the light

Here you go for some ideas mate, made myself using the backing of some standard lenses, filler, pcb board, homemade circuit, leds, clear perspex.

Put perspex in an oven at 140 degrees c for about 20minutes and it will be soft enough to bend easily. Make sure its perspex though as I had polycarbonate and that needs heating slowly overnight before it will bend otherwise it just bubbles internally.

And if I were you, I wouldn't scuff the outside of the plastic as you said, I tried it and it will just end up looking white, even if you paint the inside red.
