    New product from Klearz...maybe

    The team at Klearz is willing to make rear side marker lenses for our VXs.

    What they need is a set of lenses for a few weeks to make molds.

    I'm willing to send mine, but I'll have to take them off of my VX to do so.

    Does anyone have an extra set that could be used for this purpose?

    You'll get them back in a few weeks after they make the molds.

    I really like the look of Ron's VX with the clear rear marker lenses but they were a lot of work. This would make it easy for those that want something different.

    Thanks for the help if you can.

    I may have a spare set. I'd have to check when I get home. Do you know if they guarantee that you would receive the originals back undamaged after they make the molds? Time frame?

    I also have a spare set! If Knigh7s changes mind, I can donate. But I need them back! So there definitely needs a promise of return undamaged.

    Here is the note from Tina and the address:

    Hi,
    Yes the lenses will be returned, in better shape usually then when we receive it.
    We will sand all the writing on the surface, if there is any, and then buff the lens to a mirror finish before making molds.

    Is it possible to confirm if the lenses/housings are same left to right? I confirmed to her that left/right are different

    We will probably need a month or 2 before returning the lenses since we are so busy right now.

    Thanks

    @VXobsession, if you have yours on hand, you are more than welcome to send them out. I still have to check if I have at home of if I put them in storage. Let me know if you decide not to send yours and I'll go ahead and hunt mine down.

    Mine is right outside my shop door I'll pull them tomorrow. We ARE talking about the rear fender reflectors, right? By the back wheel?

    Yes, the lights behind the rear tires on both side that illuminate with the lights.

    If a set does not get sent for some reason, I may have mine in my garage I can send to Jason. He and I have been working together for several years for another vehicle. So, if anything, I can help expedite this product to fruition. Just let me know about the lenses and I can send directly. rudy

    Or.... a spare set of rear lenses from a Miata will work.

    (those have been the long time perfect fit assembly for the VX)

    Important

    New note from Tina...I would say this is a deal killer for me unless Ron has some pull.

    Something i forgot to mention, if the lenses are on housings, and they don't detach easily, we might not be able to return the OEM in good usable condition, as well if the lenses are cemented on, we might need 2 sets to make our molds.




    Thanks

    What year?

    I know that Ron used the front assembly for his clear rear lenses, but they required quite a bit of modification.

    Let me find my rear lenses in my garage and review it. Not sure whether I used the oem housing and added the modified miata lenses or just used the miata housings too. I'll chat with Jason about this. If oem lenses have to be sacrificed in order to make molds for production, then I'll volunteer mine. I'll post results later.

    FYI, the miata lenses will work with the vx housings. The internal housings just need to be trimmed in order to sit flushed with the housing. However, if you look from the side, you'll see that the lenses slightly bow out past the center about an 1/8" past the housing. Not really noticeable from a couple of feet away. But if you prefer that perfect oem fit, then getting molds made would be the ticket.

    Once they are made, I would love to buy a set. How/Where would that be?
