I'm interested in front and rears but I don't want to see the LED's like those ebay ones, that looks awful IMO, so I'm hoping that they will be fogged or reflector style if you know what I mean

I can't supply mine unfortunately since I drive my car year round but this is a great idea, thanks for researching it

100% agreed. I would want something similarly matched to the round domes on the fenders.

I have turned this over to Rich at redpants.lol What we are trying to have made would be just like the oem lights but with a clear lenses. I'm amazed that Aston Martin doesn't make them. I have a Porsche and got clear lenses from Porsche.

The ones I had on my grey car until I changed around the front end were the eBay ones. The first set I ordered were defective, so I have to buy a second set. I smoked the first set before testing them, so I paid for tinting and couldn't return the defective parts. I sprayed the second set myself, after testing, and the tinted lenses completely hid the LEDs when off, but the lights still shown through very nicely when turned on.

This time around, the plan is to make everything as it should be made, plus have all of it matching. I'm supplying a whole bunch of OEM parts to use for development, so these end product will be very similar to OEM but with the different styling.

Still interested in front markers but am put off by the reference to "white body". Can you clarify?

I'm not ordering any with the white body unless someone specifically requests a set - I don't think there's going to be any interest in them. The ones I'm ordering will have black housings with smoked lenses. Also, there's the option for grey housings with lightly-smoked lenses. I'm waiting to see what these look like before I decide whether or not to order any of them (unless someone requests them).

I want them to look as much like the tail lights as possible, is that what you are going for with the grey housing/light smoke?

Won't the LED's be quite visible on a black housing? or will it be mirrored? why not just do a clear housing...

Honestly I don't care much about them being LED's, I just want them clear rather than the ugly orange/red

Since I have ROW bumpers now I do not need the marker lights. I would be interested in a set of replacement rear reflectors. That is the only red left on my car besides the calipers (and they are changing color soon). Maybe make a smoked set of reflectors so they blend in on the 2012 and newer cars.

I just made a post asking about the eBay lights but I didn't read this until now. I would be interested in a set of front and rears that are clear. LED or not doesn't matter to me as long as the fitment and look match the rest of the vehicle. I think I am hearing that most people want a clear and reflective style housing similar to the clear tail lights' style of housing.

This is turning out to be a really big investment... Their production schedule had these pushed into next year unless I substantially increased the batch size, so I'll be pumping a whole bunch of money into this to get it going!

The lights will all have the same design so they look like a comprehensive setup rather than a random array of lights (which, frankly, is how the OEM ones look).
