Awesome Cy, keep on them! I am still in for 2 pair.

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.

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]

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?

Well there they are!
I hope they are worth the wait.

I need to get another response from them to find out how payments, shipping, etc. will work.
What do you guys think?

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....
