Might router out the back and sink the LED strip light into the back.
4 litres of resin - £40
Guttering - £5
Timber (used some leftover bits) say £5
Chrome (again leftovers) say £10
Some Stripper Glitter (leftovers �� Don't ask)
Food coloring
Call it £60 for a totall different rear lens.

Ah - I get it... I can see the chrome tube inside now I've looked again. Food colouring?
I was thinking of polyester transparent pigment

If trying to reproduce an existing light lens I guess it would need to be a 2-part mould and the finished item would be about 3mm thick - It may be ok for an indicator lens, but a rear light lens may get too hot? I'd be interested to try it though - I like fiddling with making things.
