Is there anyplace other then Ebay where I could get some of these Lexan Lenses? or is Ebay the best place and price?

thanks

 

Go to home depot and get a sheet of lexan (plexi-glass) for $8 or so and cut out the shape of your fog light lens and glue it in. You can make a few of them on one sheet.

 

 

i got 3 lexan squares left over from when i did mine.. pm me if you want them cheap.

 

Any good Suggestions on cutting?

 

dremel with a spirl bit or jig saw with a fine tooth blade. make sure to cut with a peice of wood under it so you cut both so it doesn't move. then get a belt sander and flip it on its side and clean up the edges a lil

 

what thickness of plexi-glass are you suppose to use??

 

^^^Good question^^^ heres another: will the plexiglass melt ?

those bulbs get hot!

 

plexi will melt i think lexan will def not melt.

you don't want plexi at all it will crack just like the stock lights do.

find the thickness just take the fog lights out and measure.

 

the glass seems to be glued on so do i have to bake it?
i only have a hairline crack in one and a small bb shot rock chip in the other. both are covered with perfectly clear tape to avoid moisture and are secure and very hardly noticable. i have to turn in my lease next month so im just worried i'll get charged $120 each plus labor @ $98 per hour to replace em if they think i have to.
does any1 know if they will charge me or if its under warranty, or if i shouldnt bother @ all?

 

yea i just broke the glass and used a screw driver to scrape the glass and glue away. baking would work though.

 

Would I be able to clean out the silver mirror looking finish by baking the foglight and taking off the glass?

 

what do you mean? take the silver off behind the glass?

idk why you would want to do that. they would be pretty useless after that.

 

i meant clean the mirror like finish. It seems to have dirt on it. Im baking mu fgs now to see if it can be done.

 

i went to tap plastics and they said that the lexan would melt from the heat of the halogen. they sell poly-carbonate, and he said lexan was just GE's name for that material. he looked at me stupid so i didnt even bother to buy a sheet from him. tried searching at home depot but they just have plexi-glass for sale. where else can i buy this stuff

 

i bought at sears or lowes...

they will not melt with lights. hids burn much cooler cooler than halogen. i had halogens with the lexan and had zero problems.

 

I saw it @ Home Depot. it looks like it's tinted green, but that's just protective skin.
They also had Lexan Silicone Sealant in tubes. the label said it's fully flexible after it dries.
I'm not going to bother because i still think they will melt

 

they won't melt! i've had mine on for over a year with zero probs. NO guts NO glory!

 

what kind of glue did you guys use to reassemble the lexan lens on the housing?? i got some silicone stuff but doesnt seem to hold up. i let the silicone sit for a day and still feels real soft.

 

i used silicon.(clear) Its suppose to stay soft & beleive me it holds the lenses in place. good luck

 

was there a paticular brand you used??

 

think it was G.E. II. Found it @ home depot. hope that helps

 

Has anyone repainted the inside of their fogs. The silver finish is starting to peel off on mine and I want to replace the Lexan Lenses that I have in their and take off the metal peice around the bulb to see if that will help distribute the heat a little better and not melt the lens.

 

I don't think the silver finish is painted on. The finish is anodized onto the plastic housing.

 

I didnt know plastic could be anodized...

learn something new every day.
