Ive seen a few offered out there. I purchased a set off ebay, they were the best Board layout i found but only for 68+ but dont look very good in the factory lense.

I took the liberty of starting to fabricate my own lenses, on my 69 here are some pics, but im having difficulty figuring out what to do with the reverse white portion of the lense. and smoking out the edges so you can't see the bulb housings.

This has been on my wish list for awhile, but I'm too cheap to buy anything. I'm working on collecting some LEDs and making my own someday. I ran across mer-leds awhile back and think it would be a great replacement for stock. The only thing I would worry about is corrosion and the like with the environment on a bare PCB with the solder exposed. In an outdoor environment, some kind of coating would be highly recommended.

Couldn't you just glue in a frosted (something not totally clear) square piece for reverse?

604birdman thanks for the lead on mer-leds.com. I had been looking for an LED front turn signal that wasn't just a replacement bulb. Sent them an email asking about it, and also about an LED license plate lamp :)
