    Good news for those in need of new lights

    I emailed Daniel Carpenter about new lights and was informed that they were working on doing another run of them and they should be available in about 6 months.

    I seem to recall a poster on turboford (bigrivens?) having a source for just the lens for the outer markers. Does anyone know if this option still exists? I'd love to have a nice, clear set.

    Last I heard, bigrivens did not have any outer lenses left and doesn't have plans to make any more.

    Are we talking just the markers, or the markers and headlights?

    Man, I really wish someone could reproduce the outers. The used passenger side I bought isn't any better than the one on the car.

    Daniel never made any outside lights, only the insides and 86 headlights.

    Does anyone know the actual whereabouts/status of the molds for the outers?

    Just got two reproduction inner lights for my '86 daily driver. For those of us who have been around a while, we all remember when the lenses would fall off the body of lights. The reproduction lights that I received had minimal adhesive holding the lens onto the body. I pulled the lens off the body, cleaned up the plastic chrome on the mating surfaces, and re-glued the lens to the body using silicone sealant (I didn't do this around the cars as we all know what silicone does to cars when you try to repaint). Last time I repaired a light this way, it worked quite well.

    Just a heads up for those getting new lights.
