WTF!

Well I was just getting off highway in New Mexico, after racing/playing around with a cbr1k up to 140+.. Well I get to a 45mph road and all of sudden I hear this crunch/shatter then I run whatever it was over.. I figured it was something in road. But of course not, suddenly the malfunction screen comes on "fog light"... So i hurry home , only to pull in and find that my driver fog light is gone along with bulb busted. Wow... Now question I've seen a couple on "the bay" could anyone help out. I'd like to change em out to maybe projectors, but need to make sure I order the right ones. Thanks in advance for taking time to help out. Also what about the headlights is there anyway "the bay" ones will work?

Sorry to hear. I believe Gary Suvneer sells projector fogs. You might want to check with him.

You should cover your fogs with Lamin-X film, ordering from their website will end up costing you about $15 and you shouldn't break another one. I broke 3 of those lenses within 2 months of first getting my car but after getting the Lamin-X I haven't broken a lens in 8 months in a city where they literally dump gravel on the roads in the winter.

Thats the way of the road.
I also have laminx on mine, replaced the fog a few times. One of my fog grilles had a rock go through it recently too.
Buy replacement, theyre cheap.

Haha, after a spirited run in the mountains, in Mexico of course, the housings got busted on the 55, as well as the 65. Needless to say, i wasn't very happy. I had no idea they were so fragile.

I am going to look into putting clear bra or something over them.

Order your lights from Gary. VERY stand up guy and stands behind his stuff. I just put his projector fogs on the 55.
