I think you could make new lenses but it's not worth the effort. To prototype one I'd mill the inside optic reliefs in a flat sheet and then heat form it over a mandrel. Then sand and polish the outside to eliminate any flaws. The lenses would probably be the easy part vs. laying out new bases if you're changing the lamp layout. For the bases, pick off the mounting points and make a negative for them to hold the studs. I'd probably do the housings in aluminum as it's easier to form and since very few folks have access to an injection molder. I guess you could 3d print them too.
Personally I'd like to find a spare set of hatch lenses and make them active so the rear lamps look better at night.

There is a customizer locally who masks and body color paints lenses to give them a unique look. They get fully sealed with clear coat once done.
I had considered that before and after I did the 2010+ rear lamp conversion. Also considered wrap as a temporary trial to see how I felt about after some time.
