basically use like 800 grit sandpaper soaked in soapy water and sand very lightly. no pressure. then move up to 1000, 1500, 2000. and for 2000 i did it med pressure and got decreased it slowly. then slap on a layer of plastic x let it dry for a little and use a lot of pressure to polish those puppies out.

 

so its the same process. thanks. are the fogs just a thicker plastic?

 

yeah plastic is plastic. you can do this for 5th gen only. NOT 5.5 gen. good luck!

 

i used 800, 1000, 1500, and 2000 grit, keeping the lens and the sandpaper wet throughout, then used plastX to polish.

takes about 20 min/light.

here's a before and after. it made a huge difference in how clean my front end looks.

 

that is very good man! mine will be out monday. i geuss dish detergent is fine?

is plastx available in walmart, or do i need to go to home depot?

 

you can get plastx at walmart, autozone, etc. i used dish soap, yes.

Use light pressure and g'luck!

 

sweeet

 

IS the Fish next to your lights being prepared ? lol

that $20 kit that comes in the foil pack works excelent also, i posted a thread about it somewhere, things look brand new.

after

best customer service i have ever had!

 

i like the yellow fogs, always been a fan

 

thought i would bump this, i am about to do it again
thinking about getting new housings....hmmmm

 

I need to do this as well...

Like to figure out how to make them more yellow too.

 

Have you found the Lamin-X website yet? They've got yellow protectant overlays for our cars, foglights included. I've got a set of their clears, just waiting to clean up my lenses as well, before installing 'em.

 

glad i could help

 

wow what a difference, im gonna go do this to my fogs even though there not too bad

 

the better they are the better the outcome, i think i waited a little long, but i just did them the second time and its such a great way to clean up the front of the car. if my insides were clean they would look brand new.

 

i knew they did the tail light over lays, i gotta check them out, would help a ton, my drivers side light is more pitted, closer to on coming cars

 

a few guys around the org have gotten their hands on the yellow lexus style capsules that go inside the fog light to make the light yellow, but the light lens stays clear.
