Toyota 4Runner: Replacement Deck Light Lens

- Making a replacement lens for the factory deck light in my 1985 Toyota 4Runner.
With the new plywood bed sides and 3D printed housing placing the deck light in a better location, it'll be getting used a lot more. However, the 39 year old plastic lens is badly damaged by decades of UV exposure.

This lens model should be adaptable to lenses that are rectangular in shape and that have 2 screw holes for mounting. An example is the front door courtesy lights in the 4Runner.
I used OpenSCAD to design a 3D printed replacement:

Use a clear PETG filament, colored if desired:
amzn.to/3Y8ToUL
LED festoon bulbs to replace the OEM incandescent bulb:

I've not found any colored festoon LEDs, so the colored, clear filament can be used to change the color of the lamp.
I tried to do a 3D print time lapse but with the low part height and clear filament, you could not see anything on that video.
More to come...

Great video, I love that you make wooden bedsides for your 4Runner. I did the same to my old 85 4Runner. I even painted mine that same brown color. Have a great day!
Great minds think alike! Yes, that old factory plastic is pretty flimsy.
