What are MV lenses? I understand they're used to replace headlights and periscopes...

I don't know about periscopes but they are used to replace various lights. Head-lights, tail-lights, turn-signals etc. They come in various sizes to fit many different models. They are made of clear plastic, if for head-lights then they are bright silver on the back, and are tinted red or amber for tail-lights.

Yorkie, I love the way he makes those lenses! (is that you? hmmm...)
I've been following Dr Ahn's site for quite awhile now. His work is always inspirational.

I am not Dr.Ahn, I hope I can be half as good as he is.

Actually I make those lenses with scratch plastic. But Dr. Ahn's method is much better than mine!
