I saw some chrome lens fog lights and got a wierd idea a couple of days later....i bought 2,4 inch blind spot mirrors,put extra 3M double sided tape on them and pressed them directly on the plastic covers until i heard a "pop" sound.I did that so more of the tape will touch the surface.Check it out!Let me know what you Cubers think....

That is pretty sweet! 8)

I like the fact that it is a mirror so the surface is nice and shiny and smooth. Looks like you might be starting a trend for the chrome lovers! :yes:

It makes a big difference. Nice idea for on the cheap. It will blind the guy heading toward you Just Kidding.

ghetto fabulous! :yes:

hahaha i was thinkin the same thing.

i like foglights for the light that comes out of them though. i laugh thinkin about the day you come out of the store and realize one fell off on the road.

 

[AtLcuBe]

ghetto!.yes,lol...i'll leave them on till i get my real halo/fog lights. But they actually look real cool in real life.Anyone know how to take the plastic pieces off without breaking them?

Reach up under that and pop them out - there are tabs at about 3 and 9 o clock I think...

This link should help... You'll need it when you get the fogs anyway...

When saying reach up under there, that also includes removing about 15 pop clips and a plastic shroud. I can tell you make sure you look at that big sheet of plastic when you take it off and orient it. I scratched my head for about 15 minutes trying to figure out which side was up down left or right. ??? It offers no obvious clues.

 

[gCube]

Actually - again no need to remove it - just undo the far left / right and I could easily fit my arm up inside there to do the install and everything...

Anyone else tried this since the thread was started? Thinking about running out and buying a couple of these at Wally World tomorrow...

 

[CubeinRI]

I did that on my Honda Element when I first bought it. Some people put mirrors or yellow/white reflectors. After a while I just bought some $20-$30 fog lights that fit into the fog light hole. They looked factory and cost about $250 less!

 

[DarkTari]

Good Idea !!! Luv to see the lil things and details....

i bought the stuff to do this, what do you mean by the pop sound? whats popping? plus i just put in a flathead screwdriver at 3oclock on the black thing and popped em right out. easy peasy.

 

[Pejay66]

The plastic insert is convex. I believe if you press hard on it the round part pops back making it concave, thus the sound.

[yoyowhatup22]

ahh that makes sense, im thinking of just hot gluing it on there.

 

[Pejay66]

In thinking about this while it won't light the road it sure will look like it is a real light when oncoming cars approach you.

[yoyowhatup22]

yeah, plus it covers those strange looking black covers.

 

[yoyowhatup22]

well i got it, decided to use a sealent glue, and just glue gthe sucker on there, when i put them in though they feel loose, is that normal after removing it?

I bought $7 worth of fog lights that actually lighted up rofl.

before i aimed them down.

$3.49 a pop, no joke!
