...my passenger fog light is AGAIN busted. Hasnt even been fixed for a few months. This is bullshit. There has got to be something to protect them or else its not even worth having.

 

The fogs are cheap and I dont know if they are tempered glass. I am doing mine with LEXAN. Its 3.00 and cant be broken, but will eventually melt in 8 months.
But it is a hellava lot cheaper than buying new fogs

 

why will it melt?

 

Fogs get hot as crap. So the LEXAN bubbles up around that time. But here is a good thread to look at.

Because the fogs produce alot of heat. Try and touch the glass lense after driving around for awhile and see how hot it is...

sweet DIY find as well Caveman

 

I dont understand the 8 month term though? I only use my fogs when its raining really hard or, hence the name, is foggy.

The 8 month term is probably do to the Lexan getting heat cycled. This will cause the material to be come weak, warp and probably cloud it.

The reason for it only lasting 8 months is because some people use the fogs constantly. Not just for rain and fog.

 

After looking into it, im considering the yellow lexan, being that i only use my fogs once in a while *i think i have used them maybe 10-15 times since i got the car last year* would this be a good fix?

 

I think it would be a good fix for you. I'd get these for mine since I would use my fogs all the time.

 

i wonder how hard it would be to pull the lexan cover off with that silicone

 

My fogs are on ever time it gets dark so i can show off the jdm yellow haven't had any cracking issues with them even on ny roads which are some of the worst.

 

the highway i travel daily to work and back may as well be a gravel road where everyone in front of you is throwing rocks and sand at your car at 70mph

 

This thread makes me want to get ebay fogs instead of oe Honda. Very helpful link with the lexan mod.

 

I have the 3m product on my fog lights. On my 05 ex and my fa5. I use my fog lights all the time. I have no problems with the 3m product it has been on for over 2 years. The stuff works great.

 

3M film will work fine, just don't buy the laminix junk, it will burn up.

Does 3M make their film in a yellow look?

Where can i find the 3M film?

 

all clear bra installers have various cuts for fog lights

Thumbs up on the 3m brand stuff..it's great

I didn't expect that to happen to you again.
I took my driver's fog light out so there's a
hole now for my cold air intake filter to "see"
If you have a cold air intake, maybe you can
do what I'm doing.
Oh yeah, I have a custom air bypass so
I'm not worried about hydro-locking.
