fog lights

Hey,

Does anyone know how or if its possible to clean the fog light lenses? Can you use kits that require sanding and such. If I'm not mistaken I believe there glass right?

Thank you

yeah they are glass. Mine are pretty scratched up. I considered getting some clear ones from ebay but they look cheap.

The Depo crystal units have a good clear glass but also use a fully reflective surface area unlike the OEM units which are just painted.

They are glass. I ended up wet sanding mine w/ multiple different grit sandpaper (up to 2000 grit) and came out ok. Wasn't sure about sanding glass, but they look much better when done. You can always just replace the glass cover.

The glass lenses are replaceable. I had one that was broken by a rock and bought a replacement from my local dealer. The lenses aren't expensive so look for OEM replacement lenses online if you don't want to pay the dealer's price.
