Daylesford, that's right, I knew it was somewhere in country Victoria.  I don't know of any other custom lens supplier at all.

Here's a thread on the topic -

(did a search on "stiffie", I remembered my comments about the FE/FC units)

Ok, read that post and looked at the pictures, jogs my memory now Ken.  I have discussed his FC Panel van with him and forgot they had the lenses on them.  (He has actually sold that van to a signwriter in melb)  The owner of Lost In the 50's in Daylesford.  I think I might still get some if available even though there was not one good remark about them, the bottom one needed to be a bit more horizontal!!  Trying to make my vehicle look like an ol school custom job thanks for the replys,

Blue dots would look better, or there is the light blue FB/EK ute posted elsewhere with bullets instead of the blue dots.
Those caddy lenses are butt ugly!

just changing the lens could look a little tacky, kind of to bolt onnish if you know what I mean without recessing it and eliminating the chrome surround, but if the car is a very mild custom and you just want something a little different you could try carefully filing off all the lines till there flat, rub it with 1000 then 1500 then 2000 then buff it with some compound and a wool pad on a buffing machine then give it a good rub with some car wax so its all smooth, if it works it would be subtle but smooth.

spoke to garry today who owns HOON products at Lost In The 50's cafe at daylesford.  He has quite a few sets of tail lights available.  What I have decided is to get just theb top ones being the stop lights and to leave the bottom ones original, so only having the top cone instead of also the bottom one.  $20- each being $80- for a full set.  Anyhow if anyone is interested he can help you out.  For FE lovers he can get bullet front indicator lenses whicj I think would look very Kool, any how if interested give him a call.  IU will take a pic of mine once installed and get a photo on so every one can see what just the top ones look like

i fitted clear 59 caddy indicaters to the front of my ute, mounted onto the fe indicator bases.
real easy job.
for the taillights i have a couple of bullet shaped blue dots which are the same size as the round reflector part
(so no reflector)
