I have decided to make and sell these and a couple of great members helped my decision too!

My kit is a low cost answer to the dreaded cracked/broken glass fog lamp lens on our vehicles usually caused by rocks.

They are plastic Lexan protectors 2.3mm thick, that adhere to the face of the fog lamp. The covers can be removed to clean and are not permanent mounts. The covers will not burn out bulbs; the heat can still dissipate.

The prototype set on my car and the one used in the pics has been on the car for three and a half years now and through three Michigan winters. (updated 2-14-08) My fog lamps are on each and every time the headlamps come on as well. You can see pits already on the Lexan from the below prototype pic; means they are doing their job. The Lexan is crystal clear when new.

NOTE: The lenses have gotten improved shape wise, since my pic below since those were the prototypes. I figured better to take a pic of a tested set then not...

They have not been tested on HID bulbs.

Each kit is hand made and made to order. Meaning you IM or email me, I make your set, email you back THAN you pay me and I ship. That way you do not pay me and wait and I do not get stuck with inventory.

I can take Pay Pal, Cashiers Check or Money Order.

Each 2 lens kit and detailed no tools required instructions sells for $25.00 USD TOTAL shipping INCLUDED (US or Canada)...

FYI, one new Fog Lamp costs $140.00+ for our cars...

Here is a pic of a clear set...

I have not been able to locate smoked Lexan yet. However the overlays should stick to them and OR they may be able to be painted with translucent paint if lightly scuffed. Not sure though never tested it...

Normal smoked plexi will surely crack and shatter though, I will keep searching for smoked Lexan.

A little tech insight....

Lexan polycarbonate is one of the most widely known "plastics". Lexan sheet with its unique combination of high impact strength, flame retardants, and thermoformability makes it ideally suited for security applications. No other plastic can match Lexan's combination of light transmittance (clarity), and the ability to withstand extreme impact.

In thicknesses of .125", Lexan 9034 sheet will transmit 86% of the light. Lexan 9034 is UV stabilized, has a heat deflection temperature of 270 degrees F at 264 PSI, and has a smoke density rating less than 75.

If your thinking, "will this stuff hold up?" You better believe it will!

My brother and I had lexan windows all the way around our drag car and never had it chip or crack. Another little tidbit of info is, you can polish out the scratches that can happen over time without turning the lens white with scuffs. I've done it to the drag cars front window twice and it looked like new. The only reason we had to do it was because of night racing and the lights that reflected within the spider web scratches that occur over time with washing and wiping. We didn't need the distraction and needed the clear view of the track ahead. If I remember right, there is a specific polish for lexan.

MiVibe-ToolGuy, I've also learned that in addition to colorless (clear), Lexan 9034 is available in solar gray and bronze in thicknesses from .080" to .500". Though I'm not sure if you can get it in your local area or not.

I knew some of that but not all. Before I started selling I used a hammer and hit the Lexan just to see how it would react. No cracks or breakage, just dents and bending. I even took a lighter to it to observe its burning properties.

He even includes a colour installation booklet

Thanks again

I should have piped in sooner. I *think* I was the *first* Cdn to take delivery of this very useful 'mod' . Todd made sure shipping was painless and he provided 24 hour technical support for qs regarding installation . I highly recommend

Here they are on my Vibe:

I did yellow, but it comes in smoked and blue (HID-look) too! Fogs look good with the yellow!
