My head lights are so clear that I wish I could come up with a I deal for the fog lights, does any one know a way to make the fog light really clear? or do something diffrent with them?

Some updates on what I'm doing - I'm working with Bjorn over @ CustomLightz to re-do my setup. The ebay lights were cool, but i want to do it right.

I'm using the OEM housing now, with the clear lens off of the ebay lights. They're retrofitting a TSX projector, and possible halos as well. Still undecided on the LED look though...

more to come...
You could've at least thrown them in for a few pictures first, I want to see how the black ones looked.

Look up delining the headlights, and just apply that to the foglights.

Default Crutchfield

I bought a set of halogen replacements from Crutchfield. They work pretty well. They dont put out as much as HID. Upgrading to HID is very expensive, and you have to find room in the wheel wells to mount the transformers.

Good luck.

Looks great man , I'm getting ready to breakdown and get the chrome ones for my 98. I'm absolutely tired of polishing my lights every month only to quickly going back to them looking yellow again, Have you driven in the rain yet? If so are they holding up pretty well with no leaks? How did you get them leveled so they don't point up into the trees?

Again great job.

Thanks, They have some ajustment nuts on the back, you really have to turn them alot to get them to come down and work with them. I havent got them the way I would like but Im sure if I spend some time with them I will. I havent been in a heavy rain yet but I will let you know soon as i do. I don't drive it much but I think I might start

Blacknote, thanks for the post and picture. I have a white 93 sc400 that is fogging pretty bad so I'm thinking of buying a pair like you have. I did the heat/open/clean/reseal/vent thing and they looked much better but still fog up real easy. Have you found any problem with fogging on the EBAY lights and do you think they are a decent quality where they should last a while?

Blacknote, sorry about the last post. I did not realize you have not driven in the rain yet. Looking forward to hearing how they hold up for you. Thanks.

Looks decent, but not really feeling the black outlining around the headlights. Makes it looks like it has makeup.

ya people have done that, i have, if by blackout you mean open the housing and paint it black, i think it looks great, especially since its glass so no worry for lame oxidization fade look to it.
