Dont Buy Ebay Fogs

Day 1, left lens cracked!

think its possible to make a new stronger lens?

THANK GOD I DIDNT LOAD THE HID'S INTO THESE PEICES OF CRAP!

what the hell am I supposed to do now? Ive drilled into the bumper, So I either gotta leave a broken fog light in, or I have to take em out and have two holes in my front bumper. Perhaps I should just mesh it out and forget I even had fogs? ($100 bucks from ebay, $23 in tax $50 in Telly's work) what a f ucking waste! and to top it off telly got hurt installing these sob's

oem ones will break too. I dont know if its worth spending another $250 + on oem ones. These lens is cracked but I dont know if it went all the way through, going to just run em til water breaks em. hopefully it will be summer by then and ill jus throw these in the trash where they belong, and mesh out my grille.

btw IMPULSE, is the nicest **** in the world!!!


I think im going to order that lamin-x stuff and cover the fogs in that so that atleast it will keep the water out.

Sweet. Well I got my oem fogs and hopefully they won't break. I'm gonna order some lamin-x and put that on cause I don't want these expensive ones to break.

Well I just paid $22 shipped for enough to do both fog lights. That's not bad and it's supposed to be invisible. They even have tinted colors if you like the ricer look.

You could even try and cut plexiglass (looks just like glass but plastic) and stick it in to replace the broken one. That stuff is cheap and they could cut it or if you have a dremel it should be easy.

Oh I didn't even know the difference. Turns out I got the 40 mil. Good thing cause I have alot of rock damage on the bumper and lip. Freeway driving sucks.
