The pieces you are refering to are made by tap plastic. To me they look like crap and you might as well just leave the lense open or buy the malibu fog lights from Home Depot. They're extremely easy to cut out with a dremel.

be careful when you get the malibu lens, apparently there are 2 kinds of malibu lenses out there, one that can be taken apart, and one that cant. i managed to get the latter of the 2, but it was still able to be used because Don knew what he was doing, haha. you can also remove the reflector from behind (which we did accidently), which gives the signal and the parking a smoked look, if you like that sort of things (my headlights are smoked tho).
