hi every one,

my driver side foglight lens has a crack and I'm thinking of replacing it.

ebay has some aftermarket ones made by TYC for a cheaper price.

i was wondering if any body has bought these before and how well are they performing so far?

i'm just afraid that the quality is no up to par with the oems.


let me know if you have them. thanks

 

well from what i hear the OEM's are glass and tend to break easier..im on the same boat as u as my passenger side is cracked..at the Chicago meet "Rajca" said he went to home depot and bought some Lexan for 10 bucks and cut it out himself and it looked really good too...i think imma go that route before the snow comes and my foglight housing gets more corroded..

 

a lot of people on here have boughten the lexan fog light housings off ebay and are very happy with them

one of my fogs currently have a chip in them so i just bought some rockblocker, placed it over and now it stays in place and won't break all the way, i hope.
if it does though i'll probably just go over to home depot and buy some lexan to make my own.

 

do a search on "lexan". It's very simple to do it yourself. For the cost of purchasing one on ebay you can get a whole sheet of Lexan and cut out a whole bunch of them.

 

thanks for all the inputs, i will head over to home depot to take a look.

 

Just a heads up. If you have gone through all the "lexan fog lense" threads, you'll notice that only the special MR10 type lexan can survive scratches and heat damages from the fog light bulb. All the regular type lexan will turn yellow and show heat damages after being used for a while.

 

here u go dude...this is an awesome DIY write up and i think it should actually be sticked...https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...ighlight=lexan

 

i have done the lexan and to me its not worth it i bought a pair fogs off ebay for 125$ and put rockblocker on them and had no problems of leaks or breaking i had them almot 2years i would buy them again

 

yes, I just replaced my fogs with the product from ebay, I am happy as can be, they look way better than the crappy crap that was on there!! go for it

 

I am definitely going to redo mine with lexan once I buy some new fogs. Both of mine are broken right now

 

yup, did mine with the lexan and i drive wiht my fogs on a lot and also do almost all highway driving and have no scratches, chips, yellowing, burn marks, or leaks.

 

thx for all the help guys, i saw the lexan diy but i think this will be a summer project. i've temporarily put a clear film (for cellphone screens) over the small crack in the lens to prevent water going in.

its holding up quite good and you can't really tell that there is a clear film on it until you really good up and look at it. i want to buy the rock blocker film , but he never replied to any of my pm's. does anybody know where else i can get these films in canada so that i can avoid the border duties?


thanks

 

I got a drivers side brand new oem its basicly its the lens and housing.

 

I dont need willing to sell for 40

 

i purchased a pair of depo fog light's (oem ebay knockoff)...they are identical to the oem fog light's, come with new bulb's, and you can get a pair for about $150 shipped

buy enough universal rockblocker sheet, to cover the lens on both fog's and your golden.

 

thats the way to go

 

this is noob, but those oem fogs made from glasses ? to be honest i didnt know that.

 

I would totally do it if someone can help me avoid the duties and extra taxes when they ship over the boarder to Canada.

it will come out to be like $250 for the set

 

I bought the $50 ebay lexan and i have Hoen xenon match bulbs in there. Burned the lexan right away looks kind of like it melted right in front of the bulb. Not sure if there is a lot of different lexan out there. I ended up buying the ebay foglight kit and they worked out great. Think i paid $119 +shipping. F1

 

their are diff kinds of lexan. my lexan is still fine, no scratches, cracks, oxidation, or melting visible.

 

you got a pm chewi...
