I like the way the black reflects onto the chrome area on the fogs. I really want to see them on your truck.

how hard was it to get the lenses apart on the fogs? I was going to paint my own headlights, but read a couple "pain in the ***" stories, and just bought some ebay heads instead. Were the fog lights easier to take apart than the headlights?

 

The fogs were a piece of cake. The heads were definitely a pita! I had to put the heads back in the oven 3 or so different times!

 

ok, good to know. The other reason I didn't do the headlights was not being able to drive until they were completed. I can still drive to work the next morning if I don't get my fogs buttoned up in 1 night...

hey, why are you on the internet? get them installed and post pics!

 

I know, I know! I did a few silicone touch ups this morning, so I am letting it dry indoors, where it is a little warmer than outside.

Pics will be posted when the lights are reinstalled this afternoon!

 

cant wait to see it.. can you list details steps and processses you used for the fog lights.

 

-Bake at 250 for 10 minutes.
-Pry apart lens from housing.
-Mask off area you don't want to paint.
-Sand areas you want to paint.
-Paint.
-Apply silicone.
-Reinstall lens.
-Clamp it down or apply weight to make sure they seal.

 

Pictures!!

good stuff. that's exactly what I was hoping for. It's darker, but not completely blacked out so when the lights are on you see more than just the bulb, and during the day it's got a nice dark look.

I probably won't get to it for a month or 2 cause I'm moving soon, but once I get settled...I'm on it.

 

very nice! great job on the fogs

 

Thanks! I am very pleased with the results!

 

That turned out great man! Good work!
