You guys should consider doing OEM orange but also smoked/clear. That would be awesome!

Great to hear! I look forward to seeing what the future might bring (mk2 being more relevant to my needs).

The polite way to express how I feel about Mk1 FR turns is "enthusiastic, and eagerly anticipating final product and pricing info".
The less polite way would get me banned, and possibly lynched in some jurisdictions.
Just saying.
Umm... side marker lights would be nice as well? IIRC the early FR's are same rectangular profile as R's, you'd just have to do red for '75- '81 R's and orange for '75- '77 FR's, and I'd guess you're having to do DOT color match anyway. Pleeeaaaassseeee......???
I'm in... please keep us up-dated.

Same as the Hella made Mercedes G-wagen side markers, I believe, without the metal trim found on the 75 version.

Allright peeps!
Yes we are taking over the old Kirsten project and creating brand new MK1 turns!
And despite all your requests and suggestions and demands, here's what the plan looks like:
-Only the wrap around later style. Sorry you '75 guys.....
-Only in the U.S. DOT style reflection scatter pattern... not the more uniform Euro pattern
-First run will be CLEAR with a silver reflection backing.
-Later on, we will have the ability to creat ANY COLOR lens you want, but we're still discussing how to handle custom color orders so for now, just clear.
-Bulbs not included.
-Still working on a price per set. We might sell them left and right seperate, we don't know yet.
We're still building them and haven't added up the numbers yet.
Hang in there guys, we're almost ready.

I wasn't being snarky earlier, and this update adds to peace of mind;

Umm... I thought there were some DOT requirements about coloring, transparency; stuff like that? Originally Posted by My Old Roc

These will be sold "for off road use only" so if you buy them, it's on you if you get in any trouble for fitting them to your road car.....
Get it?
