while I was doing the headlights ready for when I get my coupe back from the body shop I had ago at the fog lights , replaced the black inserts for silver inserts and replaced the old cfcc angle eyes for cob led rings for the sidelights and hid's for the fog lights , I'm waiting for a glass polishing kit to turn up to have a go at the glass to try and remove some of the stone chips as they are peppered with them .

cut around the edges with a stanley knife and prized apart with a screwdriver being very careful not to break the glass , used a chrome 2k spray paint to spray the reflectors and windscreen sealant to seal them back up again .

Warning on doing this , I have had 3 lenses shatter while doing this for no reason , I'm using a windscreen sealent to fix the glass back onto the fog light housing so should be fine as I have used it on headlights before , so just a heads up if your think of doing it , my advice would be don't bother wink

I have used a 2k paint that I used on the headlights and they have been fine for 6 years using hid's on the main and dipped and I don't use my fog lights just the rings for side light so I'm sure they will be fine and not bubble as they have been done properly wink .

If your indicator bulb holder is missing its foam seal this can lead to water ingress and condensation.

Fog lights look excellent Iain thumb

Nismo I think there's a giant rat in your engine bay.
