When something is rare it is much easier, and you better control quality, to buy it for a bit more money then to manufacture something yourself. Opel GT lights are available. Just look around and one will have a set very quickly. I visit parts websites / real salvaged yards regularly.I take it used ones will become harder and harder to find, plus he lives in Italy where these cars are much rarer. Also the Opel (EU-compliant) version of the tail lights are rare both in Europe and the US.
