ebay; foglights from racing_guys

liga_d · 09-16-2009, 02:47 AM

i just bought these... 2006 2007 2008 HONDA CIVIC 4DR SMOKE FOG LIGHT DX EX LX:eBay Motors (item 360153240783 end time Oct-03-09 14:22:09 PDT) ... now I see so many negative feedbacks about these foglights cracking/breaking easy. For my 07 Sedan Ex, you guys think its even worth cutting part of my bumper just for these?

You can replace the glass with lexan glass (polycarbonate) not an expensive modification. But...I hear the glass melts if left on when standstill.

the glass breaks from the location in the bumper, not the quality of the fog....yes you can lexan it like others said but yes the lexan melts under heat over time and looks like @$$

so theres really no winning in the fog light situation

I've never seen any ebay fogs come with glass. Install them and you'll be fine.

I've had ebay fogs for about 6 months now, and they're still lookin great. Just avoid large trucks that throw up rocks.

what do u see them come wit? i thought glass is the only thing to use...and if not i want the non glass ones....i went through 6 sets of fogs already...5 with glass and one wit Lexan thats now melted in places

GG S.I · 09-16-2009, 12:54 PM

Has n e 1 tried with another plastic, glass material?

Poweraide · 09-16-2009, 01:28 PM

If you can get PYREX. That is what they use in kitchen glass. It takes heat at the highest and thermal shock. PYREX is made from Borosilicate glass

Im not sure of what my ebay fogs came with but its not glass. Its some plastic material. Lexan will melt, im not sure why people choose to use it.

they melt with everything but LEDs which are like 50 bux a piece....your best bet is to keep the glass and just be careful

GG S.I · 09-16-2009, 09:49 PM

So if the glass that comes with the fogs breaks where can replacement glass be gotten from?

The kit that i bought isn't glass, it came with the 94 civic harness if that makes any difference.

drivelikeyoustoleit · 09-17-2009, 04:50 PM

^^^ soo your kit is for a 06-08 civic but came with a 94 harness????

Bryan 07'CoupeEX · 09-17-2009, 05:02 PM
