Not like I'm having these made in China, I'm having to build these 100% myself by hand with a mold (that I have to make) and vacuum former which I'll again have to make a buck to mold the lens over.
Why not tool them to accept light modules, so you dont have to provide the lighting.. you would only provide the lense and bracket, and anyone can put in projectors / FF reflectors / foglights whatever in them.

keep your costs down..

I've made a vacuum forming box, and vacuum formed some lexan around a oem flip-up lip and made clear lenses...

its pretty easy to do, but definitely time consuming.

Id love for someone to make these...



they bolt on to the front of the headlight bucket, and you insert whatever hella 90mm modules you want in there..
