Cracked fog light. Suggestions?

[papa_g]

I was disappointed to find 3 large cracks in my driver-side fog light. I have no idea how they got there. After doing some reading, I learned I need to replace the entire housing.

Now I’m thinking, maybe I should have some fun with this. Do you guys have any suggestions? I saw a couple options for inserts, and think maybe gloss black would looks pretty dope with gloss black trim and grille on a silvergray.

New type of fog light? Projector? Different color?

Open to suggestions

I have a spare depending on what side you broke and whether or not the glass is the fluted kind or clear

Something similar happened to me but I decided to just delete them and install delete covers.

I've always been a fan of the yellow lenses, think it looks great on any color. Think those combined with the double cup would look great... that's the route I'm planning on going, anyway.

Wasnt able to open the page for some reason but i have heard of the morimotos. Will consider it, but not sure how much it will help me practically.

I broke the driver's side. Is fluted when the lens looks ribbed? Mine is not that.

You have a TiAg, so if you could get some pics eventually and show me, I could think about it. Sounds cool though I want to start doing some more original stuff with the ZHP

Dang, I just bought new OEM fogs over the holidays and now you've got me thinking about switching.
That product page layout is awful, though. Gray text for the product details on a patterned gray background? Video didn't seem very informative, either...

Light output are great , plug n play and u dont not need resistors

I heat wrapped the yellow film from ECS over a new set of fogs.
The color is great, without having to mount a set of Hella's.
For the "get the hella outta my way" effect, I run them as soon as the sun goes down.
For $12, it works for me.

Shoot didn’t even look, the shape seams right but unsure now. I’ve seen a member’s car rocking the double cup a month back but never asked for specific link.

Another reason I like FCP more than ECS. You will be hard pressed to find any product reviews on ECS confirming fitment, or recommending another part to go along with it.

Haven't actually installed them yet as I need to repair my bumper first but I'll see if I can get some pics this week. This is the product picture from the sellers page.

The Morimoto LED fogs are awesome. Lots of clean light output and have clear cutoff. People see you coming a long way and get out of your way. They are worth the money :thumbsup

+1 on the morimoto. Replaced my yellows with these and they do not disappoint.

A few weeks ago I installed a set of yellow fogs I purchased on eBay for $53. Installed fine except I had to Dremel a seam away in the bulb sleeve. Easy. I like the idea of the smoked lenses with the silver. [emoji848] Easy enough to change later if preferences change. Be well. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200429/16d752cb20392e86a2dd5dc21d2fe361.jpg
