Is this possible or am i in way over my head. Im guessing ill need to find a company to make a clear lens mold of the foglight ones. From then i do wish to install HIDS in the foglights, but it could become problematic as do they even make projectors that small to fit a small area as the foglights? As i really dont wish to just have clear lens with hids as it will most probably shine on oncoming traffic. Plus projector retrofit will look way better, then again it might fit in the enclosure as ive seen aftermarket projector foglights for sale and they are quite small.

I guess this is a brainstorming thread, as ive had this idea this past week as the foglights arnt fitting in with my headlights and turn signals.

Ps. I do recall TRDGT4 (the guy from NZ) have clear lens for the his gt4 foglights and they looked real good. I guess ill do some research and PM him about it. Only if my internet was not capped it wouldnt be as painful to go on the internet.

Yes! I would love some of those headlight covers that flow with the bumper like the Jdm ones that they don't make anymore. Also could you look into a smooth semi transparet red taillight replacement? Like the Jdm tails but all red? That way you could order just the lenses and unglue the stock usdm ones and glue on the new ones??? Plz

that is so simple, I was planning on making LED tails, and remake the hosing and put an All red cover and take the old one out, and have 2 different LED setups with different shapes, so that the car could look different at night and maybe save me from a**cough** ticket **cough**, I made several sketches of different setups, but when I moved to this house I lost the sheet snif frown.gif , I guess Ill have to start sketching all that again:) with new setups, maybe if I get enough people interrested on the covers Ill invest in the equipment to make the custom plastic(plexi[cheap, but brakeable]/polycarbonate[unbreakable, expensive]) covers, but I would prolly sell them for around 120$ the set, but I need to check for suppliers before making any quotes, poly can get expensive, I will make a post of this after I check with suppliers, that way I could make affordable covers for you guys and no paying 400$ a piece like I saw on the internet for the 3-4 round holes cover, which was shocking, but if I get into that business, I could make conversion kits that could replace the whole tail light with smaller ones about 1/2 way smile.gif and make some chedez immitations lol smile.gif or BMW imitations that would fit celicas and stuff like that shoould be fun, I think im getting off topic so ill stop and when I post a new topic ill talk about that, but I could help pople like my friend here that posted this toppic and also make stuff for headlights and probably extrude them to the point until is alligned with the bumper smile.gif and maybe add my high quality LEDs along the bottom edge or something for autoshows or turn signals around the headlamps and stuff like that. idk just a thought, I can do all those plastics not 100% like OEM ones, but they would deffinetly fit where the old covers were, and add a really good custom look to them, I have to go to sleep I have to go to work early, bye I''m way past my calculated time, bye
