Now available for those that wish to try out.
Fluorescent Blue and Raised Smoke.
These are both made like the other colored lenses except that they also feature a hand polished edge on the raised section in order to increase as much as possible any effect from the LED mod lights that might show through.

I do not have this mod on my Empeg so I don't know if how much of the light will come through the edge. But the Fluorescent Blue does fluoresce at the edge under normal room light though not as much as the Neons.
Also the Fluorescent Blue is very light in it's blueness so it does not really change the color of the display.

Quite a few people have expressed interest in a Neon Blue but this is all I could come up with. A few have also expressed interest in a Raised Smoke.
So what I can do is now available for those that want it, but I only have an limited quantity of them.
The Neon Greens and Light Blue are also now available again.

Well there are a few takers. Any more out there while I still have them?

I'm getting lots of hits but nobodies buying anything.
Is everyone still out of money like me?

Kind of interested, but would like to see a picture so I can figure out what it will look like in the car.

'Course, I'm still trying to decide whether I should get a smoke or a clear lens as well. Hmm money, money, money - January is never a good month for these things.

In principle - yes, but we'll see how my budget goes. I'm trying to work out a way to swing a track day in a Westfield Megablade past the wife, as well as 5 days sailing sometime in the spring, so I'll have to play it canny.

There are pics. If you guys aren't seeing them it's because your viewing my site from your cache. It has to be accessed from My main link at the www address. Not the Empeg. address. I moved my site to my web servers host instead of my isp homepage.

Go to http://www.darkstormdesigns.com/ and follow the links to the Buy Lenses page. When you're there if you don see it at the bottom then right click on the page and select refresh.

At least in IE. There must be a similar procedure in other browsers for refreshing a page that's in a frame.

Unfortunately not. I don't have the LED mod on my Mark I.

Greetings!

I have the fluorescent blue on order and the button mod in place. I will take a few photos, but always remember that color matching with digital photography is always poor at best. I will give a review at the very least.

Don't expect them to be like the Neons. Because they won't. That is why I am offering them with a polished raised edge to maximize any light that does come through.

I'm waiting on my NewFace to arrive. Have you gotten a NewFace to use as a template for the raised ones yet? I might be willing to offer mine for use...

No. I don't have one. I'm not really interested in it myself. And even if I was I am too broke to get one anyways.

Email me when you get it and we'll see if anyone else has already offered up theirs' for a template.
