Here's how mine went:

Went to Home Depot, bought the lexan, a blade to cut plastics for my saw, and some high temp adhesive.

First: Off comes bumper


Then: Out comes lens and OEM adhesive


Then: After cutting and much grinding into perfect shape, applying adhesive, viola!







...YES I KNOW the car is filthy, friday it rained, and yesterday we had a dust storm all day long. SO, i had a choice today.... wash the car, or fix the foglight.

 

nice

i was just talking about this to Nomar to protect his retro

 

Wasn't hard, took a couple hours because of the grinding, i had to make sure it was perfect. But the cutting and placing only too a few minutes each.

 

nice fog...good diy..

 

Yeah, might have to do this soon. My lenses look like junk after 11k miles.

 

not sure if you guys have seen this but coresportusa.com sells a laminex adhesive protector for the foglights that is already cut to fit the coupe/sedan fogs. They are $25 and you can get them in clear,blue,yellow or tinted black

those kits get burnt up from the heat, and wont protect from a rock that would break the lense.

 

it says that they cut the size down due to the heat that comes off the foglights

***Due to the high temp output from these fogs, the kit will be appx 1/8" smaller than the lens to allow for heat dissipation. Also, to prevent burning, turn fog lights off if vehicle will be stationary for more than 15 minutes.***

 

lets see... $25 for films that wont protect from broken glass... or $25 for near indestructable fog lenses... HMMM

 

Yeah the only reason I have not purchased fog lights for my coupe is because they are easily broken. After seeing this, I may have to reconsider...

I like yellow and my warantee that covers my foglights. Honda can replace them 1,000 times for all I care

 

I did my fog lights over with Lexan well one of them. It was fairly quick and easy to do. Did I mention Cheap as well.

 

I duno what dealer you went to, but none around here replace the fogs... getting them broke is considered road hazard and only covered by insurance.

 

so wait. what was wrong with your fog lights?

my dealer covers them under my 4 year 45,000 mile bumper to bumper warantee

 

you got lucky then, i called three dealers, all told me it was road hazard, like paint chips.

They'll cover failure for 4 years, but like Demonis said if they crack or chip it might as well be body damage. Dealer won't fix them. All Dealers cover parts malfunction, but not damage / wear and tear.

 

how hard was grinding it?? what did you use to get it the perfect shape ;]?

 

Well like it shows in the DIY on club rsx, you trace the fog lamps oval onto the lexan then you cut it out, and you have to grind down the rest, basically i just kept grinding and then trying to fit it into the lamp until i had the right shape. Luckily I thought ahead and traced my finished product onto the lexan so next time (the other lamp) i wont have to grind so much.

The lexan grinds really easy, if you have a decent grinder. Like shaving butter.

 

added to DIY faq.

 

Sweet........I have a chip in mine as we speak and I have Lexan at work
