OK gang,
I've been in contact with Klearz for a few weeks now and have received some promising feedback that leads me to believe that with enough support and patience, we will have our clear side lenses.

Here's the scoop;
They will be unable to begin production for approximately 3-4 months. Production turnout could be another 2 months.
They need a pair of amber lenses for the mold that ARE RETURNABLE. They would like at least 20 confirmed orders, although production can begin with 5-10 down payments. They ESTIMATE from pictures of the lenses that a set should run (again approx.) $50. They can also create smoked or tinted (half-smoked) sets that would count towards the total.

Here are some directly quoted answers of a few questions I asked them:

* We ask for 5 down payments to begin production but id like to see interest of atleast 20. If you have a forum you visit a thread with ppl showing interest would be good.

* Yes we need a set of oem lenses in good shape. They can be returned.

* The materiel we use is uv resistant and shatter proof, we have had no reports of any of them breaking easier then oem lenses, the end result is very similar.

* we have tons of orders to fill since we havent worked since xmas. also there is one other new project ahead of
yours. This week is our first week back at work and only working a few hours a day so its really hard to say when we will be back at full speed, and even then we have alot of catch up work to do. I dont think we could start
working on them for 3-4 months, then delivery would probably be a month or 2 after that. However, these are the kind of projects we like to get involved with, where there is a good amount of demand.

* i estimate 40-50$ per set. Once we see the lenses in person we can give an exact price.


I know it sounds as if it will be Xmas before these could be finished, but I think things could turn out a lot faster. I've only owned my VX a couple of months but I know I've seen at least 20 people on this forum in search of these lenses, if not twice that. I'm thinking of going in on two sets myself.
If this is convincing enough for you, let's hear it. Who's In? And for how many of what?
Is anyone able & willing to lend a pair of the ambers for the mold. I cannot, although I'm looking around for another pair.
Feel free to propose any questions for them that I may not have asked yet.

Put me down for a set of the smoke lenses. I may get a set of clear as well, we'll see.

If you think they can KEEP it at $40-$50 shipped, I'm definitely in.

If it creeps up to $80 with a $20 shipping/handling fee, than I'm sort of out.

Fifty bucks seems like a good overall comfort level.

I don't smoke, so put me down for one CLEAR set and one TINTED (half-smoked?!?) set.
:eek:

CrnCnn
02/23/2007, 09:26 PM
I would be down for two sets of clear (in case of the OH ISH factor) if they stay at the $50 price range.

Great work, keep us informed.
:cool:

cyronman
02/23/2007, 09:51 PM
So that's about 8 pair already.

Still looking for someone to help us out with the amber set.
Is there anyone with a clear set already that would lend me/us their OEM pair.
I could produce collateral.

Not sure yet if I want anything other than the stock right now.

I notice that there are no Proton owners speaking up. I am wondering what would look best on the Protons.

And, if I change the side marker lenses, I will probably then want to change the turn signal lenses in the front. Anyone making those?

if u are talking about the top clear corner lenses that go next to the head lights or on the 1's on the top where the fenders are, then i"m sooooo inn for a pair of clear lenses.

cyronman

-My opinion: smoked. But clear would still look better than amber.

And, if I change the side marker lenses, I will probably then want to change the turn signal lenses in the front. Anyone making those?
- I just put on my clear front lenses (today) from Ron @ VEHICROSSCONCEPTS.COM - who still sells them BTW . This place is able to duplicate those as well, but they can only take on one project at a time. I think most will agree that the side lenses are much more sought after. They are like the VX themselves...very rare and hard to find.

Hope this helps.

hey i made my own clear bottom corner lenses and they are super clear, and came out almost pro, write me and i'll show u guys pic's and how to make them, they are super clear all nice and chromy in side and waterproof and 200x's stronger then glass and yellow free will never change color, write me guys if u guys want to nmake ur own, only costs about 10-15bucks to make them and looks alot better then the other clear lenses.

yeah no problem, sorry about that, didn't mean to do that. so how long will it take for those top corner lenes to go on progress and how much will it come out to? and also how will we pay for them when the time comes that they are erady to buy?

Hey, I sort of assumed that at $50, they wouldn't fall apart.

Add my name to the list of people who don't want these to fall apart. I also agree that they have to look nice.

Aside from those two points, I'm still in for the two sets: one clear and one tinted.

cyronman
02/26/2007, 04:45 PM
WOW
that's roughly 30 orders already. I will let this thread fill up a little more tonight, hopefully, and forward it to Klearz tonight to see what they have to say tomorrow.
Trust me guys, no one would HATE for this to not happen more than me, now that there is a possibility and anticipation. It would flat out SucK and I'd feel pretty bad for starting such a buzz.
Keep your fingers crossed...

Cy


BTW- Is there ANYONE that could lend, or know where to find a pair of ambers to send in for the molds??? The sooner we get those off to them the more serious we look AND the better/earlier of an estimate we get AND
the sooner production could start.
Should I start a new thread just for this?

I too would be in for some clears, although price is a factor. $50ish seems do-able.

nfpgasmask
02/26/2007, 09:21 PM
For $50 I would actually buy 2 pair, so I have a back up in case one breaks or I win the lotto and buy a 2nd VX ;)

So, add another to the order, thats 2 pair for me.

I have to admit, even though Mike's at CC were kinda "chinsy" with that slapped on flo-light lense, I did like that flat, low profile look. Not all bulbous like the OEMs. I miss those.... even if I did smash the passenger side one up when I ate the wall, heh.

np, the vx basically sits there anyways (driven maybe 2000 miles in a year) might as well make use of it.

debating how either of these would look: smoke or semi-smoke on an IronMan...

I think clear would be totally lost against the white paint...
but with nothing else clear or smoked on the car (Well except my weathertech window shades), I wonder if they will look out of place...

Thoughts anyone?

I have the same concerns. I think smoked would look better, although if you got clear, you could always smoke them later with some of that nightshade stuff. I think I am going to get a set of each and see which looks better, then just hang on to the other set for safe keeping.

I'll take one set, although not sure which yet. Decisions, decisions....

cyronman
03/02/2007, 02:04 PM
Okay, I really hope this is not a glitch...

Got an email from them last night, and they mentioned this about the deal:
"Also i want to mention that this price is for lenses only, but we can make some housings too, it usually doubles the price."

Do we need the housing too? I haven't taken my lenses off to check things out, but we would still only need the lenses, wouldn't we?

"The price of smoked or colored lenses adds 5-10$ per set. Shipping is extra."

That's not bad, in my opinion. And I expected shipping.
When more get's said and planned, we can start dealing prices a bit.
Is anyone's interest changed by any of this?

nfpgasmask
03/02/2007, 02:17 PM
I'm still 100% in for 2 sets at this price.

But yeah, we do need to find out what they mean by "housing".

Well, I may be a cynic, but I sort of figured that the price would start creeping upwards. Let me quote my first post in this thread:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"If you think they can KEEP it at $40-$50 shipped, I'm definitely in.

If it creeps up to $80 with a $20 shipping/handling fee, than I'm sort of out.

Fifty bucks seems like a good overall comfort level."
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Guys, bottom line, we're talking about a couple of pieces of plastic here. If this company wants to BOOST the price now that we've pretty much guaranteed 30 or 40 or 50 orders, that just starts to sound greedy.

Sorry; I don't mean to sound negative. I'm just disappointed.

cyronman
03/02/2007, 02:42 PM

I asked them to 'clearly' explain it. They made it sound like something extra that some COULD be interested in.

I don't blame you for taking it this way however,
It didn't sound as if it was a neccesity, just something extra they were capable of adding to it. Like I said, I haven't taken my lenses off yet to check things out but I would imagine the lenses just being all we need to replace.
I also told them that if they "forgot" to mention the extra details that could inflate their original guestimate, that they should expect to see quite a few of the requests retracted. I told them that we would like very much to have these produced, but that we're giving them a business opportunity in submitting such a request.
I have not heard back from them yet today, I will update again when I do.

keep'em crossed...

CrnCnn
03/02/2007, 03:08 PM
Well I will still be interested if the original deal comes about. I am not concerned with getting the housing, as long as it is something we don’t need to replace. My participation will depend on the final outcome. 50ish dollars for a set of clears is what I would be in for, two sets at that price.

Is there a way to get a sample? I kind of don’t want something that I will be disappointed in. Ron's clear fronts don’t seal and are flimsy, for the price they are OK by me, but anything more expensive like these are looking to be had better be satisfying.

PHO2GR4
03/02/2007, 03:35 PM
Hey Cyronman,

My previous message reads like I was a bit PO'd, so I just wanted to clarify that I really respect the time and effort you are putting into this project! I'm disappointed in that COMPANY'S pricing model, but that's all.

I think that it could be a cool product, and I certainly hope it all works out. Again, thanks for taking point on this!

i have taken them off to add Tone's sidemarker kit and install bulbs. the side marker is one piece (lens and housing).

don't know how you could separate them, to add the clear lens only. i suppose someone could figure a way to do it. however, i'd be concerned with getting it right.

i was tempted to purchase Ron's, when available. unfortunately, there was an issue with separation of the lens and housing and he has made them unavailable till he got it right.

$50 seemed low. that's probably fair for the lens, if one is willing to pay that amount. their new price reflects the 'whole' piece. with the amount of orders, he may reconsider the price. who knows.

03/02/2007, 04:31 PM
yea as far as i can tell there is no way to seperate the housing from the lens except to bake them to melt the glue then glue the new one back on.. which would not be fun/ im sure would lead to many problems

03/02/2007, 04:39 PM

These were my feelings exactly. For ~$50 though I was willing to try them out blind. I asked and they said they didn't really have samples to send out, but maybe they can send out a single lens, a throwaway maybe, as collateral when we send our pair in for the mold. Then they can get an idea of the price, and we can get an idea of the quality. I'll ask.

OK...
between starting a (very time-consuming) new job and having company for a week, I feel like I haven't checked this thing in a month.
Anyway,
Klearz is ready for us to send in the OEMs for a mold, unfortunately, as some have brought to our attention, it appears as if we need to have the housings replicated as well. Or has anyone else proved otherwise?
I don't know if this cancels anyone's previous interest or not.
I would like to get them a pair of OEMs so that we can get a more accurate estimate for continuing further.
Where I will get a pair of housings to send them I don't have a clue?

WormGod
03/08/2007, 07:40 AM
A pair of "housings"?

What mean you?

You don't mean the bulb harness do you?

I don't see why they need any more than the lense assembly, and that is a pretty simple thing.... amber lense glued to plastic backing. I would consider those 2 mesh pieces the "housing".... 'splain please!

tysamigo
03/08/2007, 08:52 AM

The way they made it sound, I was thinking that they need them seperated to create the molds. Would they, or just one mold of the "assembly"?

03/08/2007, 05:33 PM
I say, just send them the lenses. They're a large company, Im assuming that if they want to mass produce them and make some money, they can work it and get it done. Just my 2 cents.

tysamigo
04/16/2007, 04:39 PM
I was wondering how this project was coming along. I'm still VERY interested in 2 sets of clear lenses (with or w/out housing).

I'll check back.

I'm very eager to have those things on the side either clear or smoked.

Sorry everyone,
been busy with LIFE lately...moving, on-call 24/7 new job, etc.

Anyway,
I contacted Klearz last Monday (and will again this afternoon), and they are back in full production, though still busy. However, they've been waiting on me to send in a pair of lens kits for molding which I just ordered yesterday (thanks Gasmask) and should receive early next week. I plan on getting those out to Klearz immediately and then we'll sit back with our breaths held and await a quote. They did mention that they were still booked for about 2 months, but the faster we get the ball rolling the faster it COULD happen.
I have actually been reconsidering blackening mine out as some have tried, but after getting many of you worked into a frenzy about the lenses I didn't want to turn my back on the project.
Hang in there all, I will keep you all posted.

I plan on getting those out to Klearz immediately and then we'll sit back with our breaths held and await a quote. They did mention that they were still booked for about 2 months, but the faster we get the ball rolling the faster it COULD happen.
I have actually been reconsidering blackening mine out as some have tried, but after getting many of you worked into a frenzy about the lenses I didn't want to turn my back on the project.
Hang in there all, I will keep you all posted.

So I ordered a new pair of side marker assemblies to send in to Klearz, and now they're telling me that to seperate the lens from the lens backing (which they have offered to do) it will compromise one or the other.
So, they need an additional pair to replicate a "quality" product.
The place that I ordered the first pair from does not have the lens seperate from the backside, I would have to order another pair.
So, does anyone know where to get either the lenses themselves, or the back, "lens housing" plastic part seperate from the lens before I have to buy another pair that will go to no use once they're molded and mailed back to me?
Or does anyone have these pieces that they are willing to LEND?

On a more positive note, they are ready to start their next project in the next two weeks. I was advised that besides this request, they have one other one that they're waiting on to begin. If I can get them a second pair of lenses by next week...they can start on these first.

I sent the pair I had in to them, so if they're not sure what they're talking about based off the pics I emailed them, we'll find out when they receive them next week.

Cy,

Thank you very much for working on this for everyone. I don't have any to spare but if there is anything else I can do to help please let me know.

I'm still interested in 1 pair, likely 2 pair if the price is not to bad.

I can't wait for them!! wooohoooo!!!

How much is a pair (oem) going for? I'm sure some of us can pitch in several bucks towards another pair to send in by next week, with the amount of interested VXers.

What do you all think?

cyronman
05/25/2007, 04:00 PM
Eh, that's not neccessary but thanks, really.
I'm thinking of just taking mine off to send in.
I really started this thread a lot earlier than I probably should have.

The first pair cost $50, and If I have to get a 2nd, I'd probably try to weasel them for 1 free set out of the whole bunch, ya know...for bringing them business.
think it would work?

So I sent in a pair of lenses for them to look at, and today I heard back from them. They'll need yet another set to complete the mold process so I'll have to find one to send in, but...

They gave me a preliminary price that they foresee a pair costing, and the magic # is:


$75

They mentioned that that is with a white housing. They said for $5 more, they can color the housing. I'm not sure if that would matter, would it?

I don't think that's too bad a price, but I do want to ask them for a much better deal for people that want 2 sets. And it would be nice to have shipping included for $75.

Let's hear some thoughts.

AK VX Lvr
06/30/2007, 01:53 PM
That price ($75) sounds reasonable, and I'd be in for one set. Are they going to make clear and smoked versions??

nfpgasmask
06/30/2007, 04:56 PM
IF they are QUALITY, I am 100% down with paying $150 for 2 pairs. I'll even pay for the shipping. That's how bad I want clears. Even though, my blacked out side markers look good too.

CrnCnn
06/30/2007, 05:21 PM
Did you happen to see any finished product? Or did they just need a sample?

I would like to see how they look. I am still interested at that price for ones that are quality. Probably a couple sets. Any time frame? So I dont have to throw together that kinda money. (Kinda broke) The color of the housing doesnt concern me but for a few dollars more i would have them colored silver.

tysamigo
06/30/2007, 11:16 PM
Ditto to CrnCnn's post. I'm down for 2 sets if they are of good quality and I 2 would also like them painted silver or chrome. I'm ready to purchase.

Quality is assumed...at least by me. I don't know anyone who wants anything that's low quality on their VX!!!

cyronman
07/01/2007, 09:48 AM
Smoked and Tinted were original options and there's been no mention of them no longer being so.
I have not seen, in person, any sample of their work, although I'll ask them again if they have any throw-away piece they can mail me.
I still have to send them another pair for them to produce a set of molds, so I would say it will still be at least a month, if not a couple before they are ready to sell.

Does anyone with or who's had clear lenses in the past know if the bulb housing is even that visible through the lens? I wouldn't think the color of it to be too important, but I wouldn't want it to look tacky if it can be prevented.
For those that have expressed interest in colored, I'll ask what options they have.

Well I don’t know if you have purchased the clear fronts from Ron, but they aren’t that quality of a product. No offense to him I hear his skidplates are great but the lenses are …. Meh… So those of us that have got them are maybe a little leery of buying things like this that we cant put our hands on first. :cool:

I'd still be down for 2 sets of the clear.....

WormGod
07/02/2007, 10:51 AM
The housing for the ClearCorners ones was completely visible. Ron's was not. On both, however, the adhesive was a bit of an issue. You could see the bonding through the clear lens. I masked off thelens and painted a black frame around the light so you could not see the bond. Ron's were considerable less work to hide this since it was molded from the OEM as to where ClearCorners was a completely aftermarket design (flat compared to the bulbous OEM.... and flat was actually somewhat more desired in my opinion).

Regardless of the $75 and the possible visible bond, as long as the plastic used doesnt brittle up and crack at the first sight of sun and/or cold, I am still game.

Hmm, my initial thoughts are, what adhesive are they using, what is the life of that plastic housing (just how brittle are they?), and is the adhesive/seal gonna be cleaner looking than what is pictured?

In my experience with many aftermarket lights I have had for all of my cars, they tend to be climate dependent. Cold, cool, warm, and hot weather have different reactions to plastic.... so that is my main concern. I have had some haze over, crack, and even dry rot in less than a year. If we cant get a guarentee on product replacement, it would be nice to at least be able to get a "this is what you can expect" in case we have to switch them out with an OEM set for certain seasons.

Just some thoughts....

Worm-
I forwarded your concerns to them and here is the response I got:

" As far as the quality of our product, let me say this:

We have been in production for 2 years and we have not had anyone come back and tell us they had problems with their lenses.
The plastic we use is uv resistant so it wll not yellow in the sun.
We use clear epoxy to bond the lenses to the housings and have had no report of failure to date.
In the begining we did have issues with some lenses not being 100$ sealed and foging, but we have since resolved that issue.

The lenses in the pictures are not perfect, the edges will be alot cleaner in the products we ship out,
but you can still see the epoxy in the lens, its a clear lens, you are going to see whatever is in there. no way around it.

Its worth mentioning that this product is hand made, so it might not always be 100% perfect, but we only send out quality product."

cyronman
10/17/2007, 12:22 AM
Looks great I am in, you said before they would offer smoked or tinted right?

Right.

HERE (http://klearz.com/lens/gto-color.jpg)is a sample of the different housings/lens colors combinations.

Advice from them also:

" The silver housings are nice for silver cars or any other car where you dont want the clear lenses to pop out so much.
The black housings are nice for the smoked lenses, it makes them darker.
The black housings are also nice for the clear lenses, it gives it just a slight darker effect."

so whats the total price now?

cyronman
10/17/2007, 09:46 PM
I should have some answers tomorrow on when they'll be ready to accept orders, and how they'd prefer to do it.
I don't have a problem taking orders, and payments, but as long as they are the business doing business I'd be more comfortable not being a middle man.
You never know what can happen.

One of the last questions I asked them was about discounts for more than 1 order, or 2, or whatever.
They shot down any chance of any kind of discount, so as it stands they will run $80 per set. Or $75 with a white housing as opposed to silver or black for $80. (see posts above for info on colors)
A tad more than I would have hoped for, I'll be the first to admit.
However, there's been a lot of interest for them and I think the majority will be pleased they are available. :right:
I can't say it enough times...I hope they are quality.

And for those owners that never got a chance for the FRONT clear lenses that Ron provided, they will be working on them also. Why I didn't have them do those first, to get a sample of their work, is beyond me.
Of course Ron was still around then and I had no idea of the process it would be supplying them with lenses for the molds, and the wait time, etc.
And I already had Ron's clears. :p
Oh well...

Alright evrybody...First Come, First Served!


Here's how it works:

Go to this link -

http://klearz.com/products.html#isuzu_vx

and enter in an Email address for them to contact you at.

Now they said that when they have sets available, they will email out Paypal invoices, by going down the list. (This way they do not take anyone's money until the product is ready.) I'm waiting for a clarification from them on how we will get to preference lens/housing colors. I'm thinking that they will ask for these on the invoices.
However, if you are interested in some type of order, I would get your name on the list and then worry about that afterwards.
If you will not be using Paypal, you can clear that up with them via Email.
I'm pretty positive they take credit cards and checks too.

Any other questions/concerns?

I am hoping to get the experimental pair so I can give them an honest review.

They are working on getting a bunch of sets fabbed up before they email out invoices. They wanted to be prepared for a large order the first time around, as opposed to a couple here, a couple there.
They said they had over 20 emails the first weekend, so they might have got a lot more by now and might have underestimated the demand!
I will ask for an update.
I haven't even received the test pair yet myself, so hang in there, they're comin'!

Hi there,
We are just starting to ship some sets out this week. It will probably take us about 2 months to work thru the waiting list. I didnt see this email on our waiting list, did you use another email? Get back to me on that and if not i will add you.

Tina

Hi,
You are 15th on the waiting list. so it might be about a month until we contact you. We have 3 options for the housing, white, black and silver. For the lenses we have clear and smoked. We can also do custom colors for the housing and lenses (blue, green, yellow, red, etc etc)

Klearz
Tina

They can be as light or as dark as you want. Once we have some VX smoked lenses done we will post them on our site so ppl know what to expect.

So I sent them my e-mail one of the first days so if I am 15th on the list..... But man these should be awesome when they are done. I am thinking I will get the black housing with a light tint. Hope this answers some peoples questions, I know it helped me out a little.

Not a prob, man.
I know the majority of mechanical, hardcore / ORing type of owners don't really worry about small things like orange marker lenses, but I'm kinda into looks (what can I say I'm from Califonia) and IMO, a small fix like replacing them with a more uniform color really improves the overall look. I am not into ricer stuff or carpet queens at all, I just noticed and totally agreed with the demand for these things when I joined the group. And to be honest, I didn't dig too deep to find Klearz. I found them online rather easily and they corresponded well with me. One thing led to another...

Knigh7 put in a few good words about the company a couple of posts up, and I should have my lenses very soon. I will post up a review on them as soon as I have them.

nfpgasmask
11/14/2007, 10:32 AM
Agreed. The VX is all about looks for me. Anything to improve upon the already great looking stock look is worth the money to me. That said, at this point I would probably pay A LOT of money for someone to fix my oil burning issue....but at this point I don't even think that is a possibility...

I am not into ricer stuff or carpet queens at all, I just noticed and totally agreed with the demand for these things when I joined the group. And to be honest, I didn't dig too deep to find Klearz. I found them online rather easily and they corresponded well with me. One thing led to another...

The lenses are the same price regardless of color. However, they want $5 more for non-white housings.

No price yet on the front lenses. I'm awaiting an email reply.

They said the side marker lenses/housings are ready, so I've ordered a set (as soon as I get an invoice). *I'd bet everyone on the waiting list will start getting emails shortly*

Yep, a group buy being handled individually is kinda odd and hard to appreciate when I am impatient. ;)

So, I should have received these a week or two ago.
For whatever reason, I didn't. However, I got a slip in the mail today for them so I will be picking them up in the morning.
I will try to put up pics right away.

So exactly how long did it take? I paid for mine last weekend. Shipping from Canada can be REALLY slow from my experiences in the past. For some reason, there seems to be a serious bottle neck in the US/Canadian customs dept...

Their email said 6-12 days.

Remember, its the holidays so shipping is at its heaviest of the year. Expect some delay.

I got my email yesterday and sent payment. I am looking forward to the lenses, but I am not really expecting them fast. Just happy to be getting them. :)
