Foglight problems

CivicCoupe06 · 05-14-2008, 07:01 PM

Well both my lenses are cracked and filled with water. Do I bake these to open as well? SHould I get the yellow Lexans instead of OEM?

No need to bake. Use a flat head to pry the cover off. Once its off.. insert screwdriver where the bulb normally goes and push the glass out.

I dont know if there is yellow lexan but you could always try to put a yellow lamin-x over the lexan but its still going to burn.

SO I have to detach from the bumper first?

yes. you have to remove all the sealer from the stock one before replacing the lense. make sure you have clamps for the lexan when letting the new sealer set. the lexan does not have the curve that the stock lense had so your going to have to clamp the lexan overnight to ensure a proper seal.

would the lamin-x still burn with HIDs?
And does the lamin-x really prevent damage or is it just for looks?

I'm pretty sure its just for looks. And yeah, I'm sure it will still burn
