Reviving this old thread because I'm gonna need to come up with some kind of smoked dually fender lights for my '93. Since it appears nobody makes them but Klearz and it looks like you spend about $300 for all 4 of them smoked/assembled, not even including any LED's or shipping.. yeah, F that.
I'm tempted to see if I can boneyard a set in any condition, hoping actually to find ones with damaged lenses (man I used to have quite a few, forever ago) just so I can cut the lens off the housing and make my own lens out of smoked ABS plastic sheet.
Looking for any thoughts/options... sure as hell not gonna spend $45-$47/ea with LMC for new ones just to cut them up. I could cut up my originals but considering the scarcity I'd rather keep them intact as they're in fairly decent shape.
Oh, and looking for ideas on the tailgate lights, too. These are the ones that snap into the bases and are sealed assemblies with the bulb included, can't change the bulb. A couple companies make clear ones but they have a clear bulb (or LED) inside. I'd have to chop those open without killing them, change the LED to red, and I guess smoke the lenses with VHT Nightshades... ugh.

I did actually just find some smoked 2.5x1.5" rectangular lenses that are the same shape but they've got a socket housing instead of the bulb built-in, which on one hand is good, because I don't have to chop them open. They come with a red LED and a pigtail socket. Problem is that's gonna take chopping on the tailgate. Drill out the rivets for the old plug bases, and use a step bit to enlarge the wiring hole so the socket will clear. It's not ideal but it'll work and looks like I'll be about $100 in for all 5. They're on a Ford site, because Ford used this similar shaped lamp for their 80-97 dually fenders. Looks like a workable piece in light of no other options just yet. They have them in clear, too, for anyone else looking to do their dually tailgate lights.
