Plastic Fog Light Lens Protectors?

Hey, are there any thick clear plastic fog light lens protectors made to fit the SE stock fog lights?

Are there other fog lights that fit perfectly with shatter-proof lenses?

I'm thinking about swapping out "driving" (aka fog, but not really for fog) lights. Do you have personal experience with those Harbor Freight or Wal-Mart brands? In other words... do they actually add to the amount of light hitting the road?

They are very hard to mount cause you have to drill out the brackets for the OEM's, and for some reason my right one doesn’t aim too well. Both are pointed down to the ground so no cars get blinded.

Personally I have these combined with silverstars and they work great together.
The headlights reach out a good distance, but don’t do jack up close, but just flip on the fogs and you got that covered as well.

I have my left one pointed at the yellow line on the road and that helps sooo much for keeping you in the right part of the road on those dark nights, no if I could only do the same for the right one.

For 20 bucks, you could hardly do worst.

$18.50 a foot...stick it on and your lense won't break if a pebble or a small rock hits it.

Best reply so far. Thanks, Danny.

I just need something about 4 times the thickness. I want to rest assured.

there will come a point where it will decrease light output.

i've used this stuff on fogs and headlights and they get the nice NE snow and salt treatment. not one chip from them...no pitting on the glass either.

try using it on your fogs. if they do crack from a rock chip the only thing you'll lose is another lense...but i DOUBT you'll get a small rock to crack it after applying this stuff on. 20 bucks...what can you lose? get a sharp knife and cut it slightly smaller than the lense. mix up some alcohol and distilled water mix. spray it on a clean lense and position the cut lense protector. use a heat gun to soften it up a little..it should go on easy. use a bondo card or something to push the bubbles out. heat it up some more to dry it out. it should dry under a min. avoid washing the car for a week. you should be good to go.

IMO the best thing to do is get new fog lenses so it'll looks nice and clean when you put the plastic sheet on.

hell you can do it both ways you can get the harbor freight fog lights and put the film on or you can get the wal-mart special fog light and put the film on after you drill the wholes and such a ratcheting wrench will be your best friend
