Why you say... So I can have some really cool new clear ones!!
The one in the middle is one of my stock foglights (before the mayhem). The one on the left is one of the clear foglights I bought from Piolot Motorsports. Finally, the one on the right is a combination of the two...

Why didn't you sold your original ones to someone here that would have needed them? They wasn't cracked to begin with! Dumba$$

Are the lenses plastic or glass? I know the stockers are glass.

The frames even fit good.

Have any more pics?

Kinda of a shame though to smash the lense. Probably could have sold them. Looks good though.

First off put the hamer down. Smashing thing cause you are bored is not a good thing to do. Like others said you could of sold them to someone that wanted stockers or dident have the money to buy new ones.

I don't see why you guys are all over his case. He clearly didnt want to pay 150-200 for a new set of OEM fogs (I dont think any of us do) so he went out and bought a $20 cheap set to cut the lense out of. Now he has brand new looking fog lights that still have the stock look to them. You guys are acting like he beat the crap out of them for fun and threw them away.

dont blame you for smashing them when walmart sells fogs for like $17. You swap the just the lenses and maybe the chrome part, probably the same exact swap i did for my fogs on my birds.

Eh, least they arent 91-92 birds fogs. Those are getting hard to find. Nice new lenses, how do they look on the car/lit up?
