1st post was 15 years ago :applaud: .
I would say the cheapest way now is 3D printing they will scan the old light in and just print clear . I guess your using the normal backing plate with LED lights . Back in the 90s it was a common thing to use clear lights for cars I know you could buy them for Escorts Sierra but can’t say I ever see them on a Capri .
Best of luck and keep us posted

I dont remember seing any on a Capri even in the 90's. Some cars suited clear rear light lenses more than others. Clear front indicators are reasonably popular though, CCI sell them

Is this a real person or a bot? Dredging up a decade and a half old post to ask a question which you could answer yourself with an image search, and its the only question they have ever asked 🤔 plus why would you want "one" light cover?
