View Full Version : Foglight covers?

Cracked a foglight last fall and rather than replacing it, I decided to cover both with a couple layers of blue painters tape - at least through the winter road gravel season. ...

Put the new one in last month and today notice that the other one cracked now and the new one has a chunk missing. Dadgummit! I don't think I've used my fogs more than a handful of times anyway, so I'm thinking of just covering them back up.

I'd like to find a more permanent and asthetic solution to blue painters tape, but have not been able to find anything off the shelf that fits my needs. There are clear/clearish films out there, but I'd like to put an opaque covering on them. Since they are cracked, I figure I'll slather some adhesive on the lenses and put whatever I find on top of that - referably in the same blueish tone (it actually looks kind of cool. Or is it kewl? k3w7? kuhl? At any rate, I like it...).

I've looked into some 3mm neoprene or codura. Any other ideas?

you say you don't use your fogs?

If you do take them out, there is a little bracket you can cut off and have holes in it :)

Lamin-X film should keep them intact.

I agree I did lamin x and after a 3000 mile trip the lamin-x had a trial by fire and performed flawlessly

This is the correct Lamin-x item, right? (link below)
I don't think there's a difference in ZHP fog lights, so these should fit well?
Can someone who already have them confirm ? and can one easily apply them while the fogs are still on car?

Thanks.

I have the xenon tinted Lamin-X foglight covers. Great product, no air bubbles.

Yup. The lamin-x site model selection works for the zhp.

If you're a detail kind of guy, the lamin-x pre-cut fit isn't great. you can see some uncovered glass at the edges. Somewhere on my list of rainy day projects is to order a full sheet of the stuff and re-do it perfectly.
