I wish I had kept my right rear lights.  I could not fine lens for left side so just covered it all up and installed LED trailer lights. I think I am going to change them to chrome.

' Cleaning out my email box and saw this. I started searching on "3D automotive lens printing" and I'm learning a lot. Casting may be ok, but if there's an option to PRINT a lens, I'm all over it.
