I'm thinking of not taping as much of the reflective surface, maybe only using 1" masking tape and not taking it all the way out to the long side of the lens. From the pics, the long side has 8 reflective ribs vs the short side having 5 ribs, and making them both have 5 reflective ribs with only one piece of tape going down the center. I don't care about light output. :D

Hurry darren

Alright now, I got a little more silicon around the edges sealing so the next update they will be installed! Here they are. I cleaned and clay bared and polished the lenses, they were quite dirty to my surprise, cleaned up very very well and look much better but still show a little oxidized haze and minor scratches from 4yrs of functionality. No complaints here, i'm just happy that I will have fog lamps again tomorrow!

This one shows a little bit of the oxidation i'm talking about, but its no big deal, only shows in flash pictures. Holding the lamps and looking into them the lenses are as clean & clear as brand new

The LH one gave me a little difficulty when gluing back on, the right side of it did not want to stay down, but I held it in place with a strap overnight and it held, so overall this job was a success, now lets hope it looks perfect and lights up good at night.

Thanks, go ahead man it will look really good. I'm very happy with my trucks appearance now. I used to hate my rectangular fog bumper.

Thanks man! Thanks especially for the close up photos of yours for the inspiration to try this to my own fogs. :beers:
