An HDforums member was asking how to french Rocker lights. I didn't do the work myself but thought these photos would be of use to community members. I should mention that the work was completed by pairadice paint.
I don't have the specifics on the lens material but what I do know is that the material used was a cast-able, liquid urethane plastic, which can be tinted with red dye. Since the lenses are red, clear 2 way (running light and brake light) LEDs were used.
The LEDs are about 1/2" thick and waterproof. I don't have the exact part number for the LEDs but I think they were $20 each or so. Other painters were quoting me over $100 per LED. The LED's were hot glued in place using industrial strength hot glue and then I covered them up with some aluminum tape. If you do tape them, make sure you provision for drainage as water will get in and will need to get out.
