begin by removing your foglights mine were 4 philips head screws, if you cant figure this out quit now


materials: krylon stained glass yellow, volkswagen letter openers as pry bars, and a hair dryer. I add a few extras later on


heat up around the lenses with a blow dryer, pry the lenses apart using the letter openers or whaever you have , by this time yell out some choice cuss words and have a beer, in my case since im 16 i had a vanilla coke instead


get a red scotchbrite pad and matte the insides of the lens


here is how they should look matted, above is not yet done bottom is matted with the scotch pad


grab some masking tape and mask the outside of the lens


ready to paint


mask off the metal part of your blbs to because i painted mine


spray light coats until you have a desired shade, i sprayed mine a bit to much and it turned out orange, i was pissed but when it dried it lightened to a deep yellow which was awesome. as you can see i jabbed my bulbs into some cardboard


let the lenses dry heat em up with a blow drier and press them back in, seal it with some silicone


enjoy your new wannabe lexus fogs! i will get better pics later tongight and some illuminated pics


total cost of project : $3.93 canadian thats if you have the tape silicone and scot pad kicken around

 

nice write up optiks...........can we see pics at night??????

 

i was going to do this
i was too afraid the yellow paint would melt
my fogs get pretty hot
let me know how they work out
nice write up

 

these are actually daytime running lights, they dont get hot at all, they take the sames bulbs as regualr tail light bulbs so i dont know about if the paint will melt

 

ahhh, well thanks for the info

 

very informative write up thanks now i just gotta get a 240.....lol

 

night shot but doesnt look like anyone cares

 

that looks amazing

 

looks really good.. nice write up.

 

 

hey douche bag, this is HONDA-TECH, not freshalloy or ziliva. remember HONDA, not NISSAN-TECH. anyway they clash w/ the amber signals and dont look good. it would look better if you had the s13 silvia front end w/ an aero bumper and halogen non-projectors, but thats my opinion. either way join the new 240 bandwagon, i jumped on last year.

 

nice job optiks

optiks, keep posting. dont worry.

Wow dude, looks great. I'm going to be messing around with my CRX factory fogs soon. My lenses are all fogged and scratched up. Only thing is they use an H3 bulb. So I might just get a yellow H3 Bulb and pry off the lenses and clean them. I love what you have done though...great write up man!

 

WOW! CLEAN sure is an idiot.

Speaking of yellow H3 bulbs, I suggest you try out Osram All Season bulbs. The bulbs emit a very nice golden yellow light, plus they're very affordable. You can get a set at http://www.powerbulbs.com/ if you're interested.

yeah dude im retarded cause im the one w/ the honda on honda-tech and not a nissan on honda-tech. sorry to come off as a dick, but if you really wanna be helpful post it on a 240 site like i said so that they can see what you did.

 

I would rather clean them up and put in some yellow bulbs Non-painted ones of course.

 

Nice 528i sport. Nice 240 too.

 

thats a friggin nice house in the background of the night shot
