havent seen this before so i thought id try it...i baked a set of 02 fogs, tinted the inside, and installed a yellow capsule

baked open


tinted


yellow capsule installed


butyl tape sealant attached


finished product

 

Noticed they were Depot lights are the lenses glass or plastic?

 

Those look good..

 

looks real good.. good work on the DIY

 

They are glass, I've had those aftermarket fogs before.

 

Wouldn't the bulb with the shield require proper optical reflectors...and not ones painted black?

 

Looks sharp. I'm guessing the black will help with the glow more than the shine. Nothing wrong with glow though (guilty)

 

thanks guys

yes they are glass


you are correct..these are for show not function...they still have alot of reflection you just cant see it much in the pics..plus maxima fog lights never really did the job anyway..

i opened them again and took the shield out..i had to move the capsule foward so that the HID bulb could fit in and the shield wouldnt fit back in its place

 

I think that looks pretty good.

 

function > form

 

waiting for installed pics day/night and on/off

 

me too

 

I had no idea that aftermarket OEM Fogs existed?!?!

Wherever you got those -- you need to post-up a link....lots of dudes looking for those!!

Nice job on the teardown. Never baked a set of lights, but I might've baked myself once or twice...

of the fogs in action

 

Need some installed pix ASAP!

 

nice job...
in for pics.

 

Did you try and paint the outter ring first and leave the back piece chrome? Not sure if that would complete the look you were going for but I was considering doing something similar myself. I think the black and smoked ones on ebay are completely black out like yours but I wonder if you get a good look and a slightly better light output if you were to paint the inside and leave the chrome reflector behind the bulb alone. Did you try this first and then decide to paint the whole thing? I could try this with the 01 right? Just plastic instead of glass but process should be the same right..

 

How hard is it to change out the bulb in the fog light assembly? I tried to change the bulbs, but It looked very time consuming, is there something I am missing???

 

Nice modification.

 

Details on your baking steps? I'd like to bake mine and reseal them just to clean the lenses and modify the shields. Also would come in handy if I ever retrofit projectors into the fogs.
