just in case any of you peeps haven't seen this on the oc and may be interested in, a little project andy benn, myself and wolfie (the clear front repeater lens guy). have put together.
some sample pics for your own opinions.

Have you got a method to do this or is there a replacement lens available?

wolfie did the same treatment as per front lenses
( mould made from stock red lense). to fit just unclip original and replace with clear.
we are still testing for the best bulb replacement.
he has now made them available to everyone at the price of £38.50 delivered. just send him a PM for payment details.

Many thanks for sharing this with us.

Certainly something I may be interested in, I never really thought the old style light clusters suited the storm blue 205's.

no probs loosey. ( 4 the love of 4's)
i'm still very unsure what to do with my back light lenses myself, with it being a uk spec the question is do i go for the late spec rear jdm lenses :?: ( what about the rear fogs eh).

I'm still waiting to see how this looks on a black car. Not sure it suits all colours.

Looks good on white, excellent on silver, not to my personal taste on red (not sure it complements the other lights)

I think black might have the same problem. when the other lights are red it will make it unbalanced.

need to see a red ST205 with late spec lights and clear high brake lens. then we can truly decide.
in an ideal world i would like to see the amber on the rear lenses completly red as per the rest of the lense ( might attempt this at a later date ). and maybe a completly clear lense . options available for our wonderful cars are pretty limited so unless we experiment and try these ideas we shall never know.

Ditto. I want to tint the indicators so that they look the same colour as the brake lights until they light up. Getting an amber light through might be tough though (yellow bulbs, anyone)

Removes the orange and gives it a slightly yank look (in the best possible sense)

I think it looks cool on a red ST205 although those massive orange blocks do let the side down a little paul :roll:

there should very soon be a pic of a black ST205 on the OC as soon as its up i'll put a piccy on here!

i am still a positive it'l suit a black ST205 as well, just because the supra ones are made gash and a creamy smoked kinda clear whereas these little beauties are much better and will suit the silver badge and late specs!

we thought they'd look bad on red but to my suprise they didnt (imho) so black is the one to prove i guess....... :lol:

still, looks great on my car, and the bulbs are here to trial so everything should be sorted by tomor :D :wink:

Just seen the pic of the black ST205 on the OC and it does look pretty good... With the late spec rear lights.

Suddenly it becomes a very expensive cosmetic mod :o

I think I'll wait until after Christmas and see if i have any money in the world.
