Can you buy new foglight housings?

[Error404]

I can't quite work it out from Kate, can you buy new foglight housings, without the lense etc? Mine are a bit old and yellowing, but the light itself works fine, so after some new housings at some point.
Kate seems to suggest that you can buy a new housing and glass separately, but I seem to remember the glass is bonded to the housing?

Any BTDT?

The housings come fitted with the glass. BTDT.

buy a second pair, as cheap as possible.
Choose the best 2 for glass and the worst pair for the plastics.
Cut the plstics off the glass you want to keep and smash the glass on the plastics you need to keep.
Paint the inside any colour you like, then bond glass to plastic....

Consider buying new spurious ones ?

Not sure though how well they’ll wear.

Anyone BTDT ?

Heat them up in the oven, it softens the gunge and just pull/pry them apart.

Perfect! I'll give that a try!. Mine are in very good condition to be fair, just the white plastic of the housing is yellowing slightly. I think I have OCD

it helps in these parts

Done this too, put them in the oven on a low heat for 5-10 mins, works a treat! You can spray the insides then. They look fantastic when done.

This is a black painted light, but you could do ice white, red, blue or colgate green...

What do people use to glue them back together when they are nicely sprayed up inside?

[bikerjim]

I used sikkaflex sealant and on another pair, Tiger seal

i'm used to doing about 200deg for 10 minutes for other headlights, but this doesn't seem to be working with mine.

it's almost like a more hard rubber in there that's all dried up.

they are s2 fog lights.

recommendations? how hot can i go? removed bulbs but the projector housings are still in there.

[frostyflax17]

just popped them in there for another 10 minutes at just over 200deg. things were hot enough that i couldn't hold them with my bare hands. i dug around the outside to get the gunk out, and still wasn't budging, i wound up chipping the glass in a corner (barely noticable luckily).

i give up, i don't want to crack the lenses. it just looks silly right now with 2 different colors.



so, who wants to sell me a set to match the turn signals? otherwise i'm going to tint the turns and then they'll all by mismatched. lol

I heated mine up to 150deg C whatever that is in deg F and they come apart with some persuasion.

I have recently broke a lense on another pair trying to extract it. Sometimes that just don't wanna come out!
