same for adelaide.... i'll be interested in a pair, not sure that a "replica" is worth $80 but. I guess it all depends how close they are to the original?!?!?

Hi, all,
I'm the guy from U.S., Boston, I found those TA-22 lenses is all brand new genuine Toyota parts, Yes, I know US$80 per set is kind of pricy, but I can tell you it's very hard to find here in U.S. brand new, and also, If I were you guys, I won't put the after market lenses on the Classic car, I'll find a USED genuine Toyota parts to replace it, $80 Oz ? How much in US$ ? US$30+ ?? I think in US$30 bucks can find a good pair, So, that's you choice baby !!

if i could buy a USED set here for $80AUS i wouldnt bother making moulds
if you can get a set for $30US good on you maybe you could work something out over your side but by the time they get here they are more than the price yuou paid for them because of overseas postage and then they are only secondhand
wait til you see the finished product i am offering before making opinions please !

Hi, Grega,
Yes, I understand it, people like their cars looks special, for the new models is fine, but I thinks is not for the Classic cars, Hey man, our Classic Celica's already looking pretty special on the road ! Don't you know that ?

Hey Celicamad85,
If your reproduction lenses turn out good then you might consider making parking light lenses as well. Apparently they are getting scarce.
If you want genuine brand new clear indicators for you TA22 you may never get the opportunity again!!

Mani,
It is against the law in NSW to have tinted lenses of any description (Unless they were fitted from Factory) It is however ok to have a tinted cover for your lights as long as it is removeable !
Celicamad85,
Dude, I know I'm gunna sound like a real wet blanket and I'm sure you are making a killing but I have got to ask. have you looked into the legal/ramifications of these ? Not just copyright law but general liability and safety aspects. My understanding of Lenses is they are CUT from the material to give a certain level of refraction and hence brightness. If your lenses don't meat the required Standards you are leaving yourself wide open to liability claims. I am sure the material is UV stable and wont fade etc ? Also if it is Clear clear can't you see inside the lense and into the houseing ? personally I think I prefer the White Toyota ones anyway !
Sorry dude I just am not comfortable with it.

Screw the legal issues, bloody everything in NSW is illegal. Thats why the smart ones make their money here then piss off interstate and live the good life. I'm in for a set, $80 seems fine, keep up the good work mate!

I would also like to see some pics of these. Good idea, i bought some orange lenses for about $40 a pair in adelaide, i doubt they are genuine but they havent faded at all and look good.
I doubt a police officer will have the intelligence to know that these are not standard and that they are fakes. I doubt they would ever give a F*%k either, too busy eating donuts mm donuts. Although if you are getting your car checked by the RTA (regency) then you would obviously change them to the standard ones. I doubt toyota would track you down either, but you never know.

i sort of gave up on this for a while, but there seems to be a lot of interest over it again
well you see big companies like mcdonalds try and kill that small fish and chip shop in NSW somewhere over the usage of their namesake but even though that is actually his last name, it all comes down to who has more money to spend on getting it dragged through the courts
i dont think i am bothered over it anymore either, i made a set of lenses for myself but clear clear looks a bit strange when the lights are on you can notice the bulb a lot, but not when the lights are off
while work is relatively quiet i should get a couple of sets of clear white pumping through see how we go
ROD...to answer your concerns over the standards to which i can make these, i can manufacture exact duplicates which function as well as the originals, there is nothing special about the originals they are all moulded from a standard acrylic it is the lines and markings on these which help give out such a bright light
i will keep you guys posted
