Not to flame you but I wish you were a perfectionist when it comes to spelling, your post is really difficult to read
I have an idea for tail lights however, you can carve them from the handle of a red tooth brush, it works great.

I use MV lenses exclusively for all my tail light, headlight needs.



As you can see they come in amber, transp. red and blue and green. They look great and most realistic when properly installed.

I like those alot, are they called by anything other than MV lenses? I looked online at my local Hobby Shop that cters to trains and didn't find anything under that name. Where did you get yours?
Great idea, us old guys can stilll learn something new LOL!!!!!!

For those of you looking for MV lenses ask your LHS if they have a WALTHER'S catalog and look in there.

What is the size of the lenses that apply to car headlights? I see 3mm & 4mm sizes.
