Also thanks to all of you who posted. I think that I will keep them for now until I can come up with a better solution.
I just assumed so because you didn't mention anything about buying them and by the looks of the reflector is reminded me of the stuff they sell at the hardware store. Great work BTW.

I haven't been able to find these anywhere so I am assuming this is done via the resin method. Nice job and I think they look much better than the amber

Today I finally had the time to get it done. What do you think? Better orange or clear?

P.S. Will take better pics tomorrow morning, my garage was a little dark for any decent pictures tonight...
