To complement Rajca's DIY on 02-03 Fog Light Lens Replacement (https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tl-1999-2003-98/lexan-fog-light-fix-painted-fog-lights-diy-694354/), I scanned one of my Lexan replacement fog light lenses so that people could just use the scan as a template instead of trying to measure and draw it themselves. Here is the link to the PDF:

http://files.myopera.com/AMGala/file...%20Drawing.pdf

You can download the file and print it out at 100% scale (make sure Adobe isn't changing the scale in the print menu), and then trace the shape onto the piece of Lexan. The scan is of the passenger's side lens, but obviously to make the driver's side lens just flip the scan (before or after printing it out) and it will be the correct shape for the driver's side.

Hopefully this helps!

Kris, please add this to the DIY thread (I think it was missing Rajca's DIY thread anyways).

 

good thinkin!

 

Thanks bro! I just posted a need help thread on this topic but looks like you came to the rescue. This saves me at least 1 hour easily. I think I'm going to attempt this this weekend.

 

Thanx dude ur awesome for this!!!!

 

Yup, I saw your thread and that's what encouraged me to do this. I was about to paste this thread's link into your thread and then I saw that you replied.

 

so Amar you ready to do mine since youre an expert? lol

 

Good lookin' out.

 

Good looking out, man - looking at the lexan I bought last week for this exact same exercise and now the job is that much easier!

 

can't open or view the file - it appears to be corrupted. can anyone download it and email to me? email address is driley at hwehotels.com.

thanks!

 

Had to use IE to open it for some reason.

Email sent.

 

^^thank you.

 

I didn't cut these...I bought these pre-cut

 

I don't know why some are having trouble viewing the file...I tried viewing it in Firefox, IE, Opera, Google Chrome and Apple Safari and all are working...anyways if anyone has any problem just PM me your e-mail address and I'll send it to you.

 

good stuff
maybe you should make a quick diy with everything else too like how to remove the lens assembly and how to put a new one in.

kind of like a more in depth version of rajca's.

 

you still have the factory ones right? i need to use it as a template

 

I haven't put the Lexan lenses in yet, mine still have the glass lenses because they haven't broken yet.

 

With the lexan lens, does it shoot out the same output as the OEM glass ones?

 

should - lexan is clear as glass.

 

have any of you painted your fogs a different color? i want to paint my inside black. i'm installin hids in there, would that make up for the lost of reflection?

 

i'm cutting the lexan this weekend using AMGala's template. will keep everyone posted.

 

i just finish cuttin mine. thinkin bout paintin my fogs housing blak and install hids 6k.

 

^^what did you use to cut the lexan? dremel? coping saw?

 

The template is very helpful for anyone doing the fog. Lexan will not be as clear as glass and will get dull and turn color over time.

 

Everyone attempting to do this, make sure to get weather-resistant and heat-resistant lexan. It will help prevent pitting and browning of the lexan. Putting Rockblocker over the Lexan should also help prevent pitting.

 

Here's a pic of the fogs painted black:


Here's a pic of the fogs painted ABP:


I think that installing HIDs would definitely make up for the lost reflection (assuming you don't put in anything over 6000K).

 

Thanks for the pic with the black. I think I'm gonna pass on that idea now.

 

Really? I like it. I think it would look great on NBP.

 

Maybe it's the white that it doesn't look that good on. I think the fogs still need some kind of reflection similar to the headlights. That's just me though.

 

can someone pm me the link its not working

 

Are you guys clicking on the link, and then on the Download File button?

 

i finish my foglights and dude i'm loving the way it looks now. i'll take some pics once i wash her. i blacked out the housing and painted the frame of the fogs. it blends in with the front bumper and dude i'm digging it.

 

did this over the weekend. really simple mod and shit looks dope

 

What did you cut the Lexan with?

 

i used a coping saw, but a dremel would work also.

 

So..alls I would have to do would be to take my coping saw and cut the stuff...would that work with glass also..I don't want the foglights to get yellow with time and I'm not taking any risk..so I'm goin with glass..

 

you have to have a shop cut the glass. glass can be cut at home in straight lines, but curves are something different altogether. you're probably better off buying new housings.

 

bro thanks for uploading the template but its off. The width is okay but the lenght is short by 4-5 mm. Fortunately I can still cut 2 more pieces of my sheet.
