So here is what I did.
Bought a small piece of Lexan .093 or 1/16'' First remove your front bumper. You can try to remove your fog lights without doing this but is so much easier just removing the bumper. Then take out the light. Remove the 3 screws holding it on the bumper, then the 2 screws that are attaching it to the bracket. Take off the from black plastic piece that holds the lens in place. It has 4 clips that you just have to lift up. Try not to break them off. Remove the glass that is left in place and also the glue that was holding it in place. Now the fun part. Trace the outside of the fog light on the Lexan. Then cut it out. You can use any method that you would like. I used a Dremel and a file that I had laying around. Keep filing or sanding until the Lexan fits in place. I then ran a small bead of silicon around the outside of the fog light to hold the lens in place and to keep water out. Put the black plastic piece on the front and let dry for a while. Actually thats what mine is doing now. I'm going to let it sit for a few days, then reinstall it. If you read the posts on the rsx website they are taking out the black metal piece in that surrounds the bulb. I left mine in because my fog light has a small hole in the reflector that allows air ie heat escape. I didn't see that on the RSX fog light. Here are some pics of what I did. I will post pics of it installed once installed. |

Laminix will help, but it won't save them completely. Plus, it WILL melt to the lens if you have your fog's on for extended periods and the car is not moving.
More so in warmer climates than colder ones. Face it, they are in a vulnerable position that low to the road, so plan on replacing them several times during your ownership of the car. Looking cool, and adding so little illumination to the road is not worth it for me. I won't put any on my car. The Lexan is a much better idea, but you will get deflection of the light beam, and they won't be as effective as stock. But it WILL protect the lens. |
