Travis dropped off the set that he had on hand, today.  One is damaged, but
there's a way around that (two molds, the first to cast a copy of the
damaged lens for repair, and the second to cast the reproductions).

I'm looking at beefing up the tabs on the back to make them a bit more
durable.  I'll have to take a look-see at the hole that the lenses fit into
to see if it's possible.

Not for the foreseeable future.  Just the tooling cost would be outrageous,
probably in the neighborhood of $3500.00+.  And the legal nasties are much
tougher when it comes to tail lights.
