Tex06 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 x2 on eBay. Expect to pay somewhere around $200/side for good quality tails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch, I guess I'll start looking in the PnP's again. I pasted some up a few years back. The price at the PnPs went up. I tired selling a few of mine, but its a PITA.

Pete M Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 depends on price. if they are cheap enough, then I imagine it's only a matter of time before you "need" new ones, just for the bling factor. I imagine most all of us will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scaleless Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 The housing shape looks like it would be fairly trivial to 3D print - the lenses are the hard part. I'm sure there will be enough demand for the housing itself once the lenses come out for someone to step up and make them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will probably go LED before I I need new lenses. but good point they would look great on everyones restos and they will just be eaten up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really only need one side as each side is the mirror of the other. If I can get one to model from I'd gladly make the housings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
