? replacement 'Lenses' for fog lights

Do they make replacement lenses for our 'R' foglights or do you have to replace the whole unit? Mine are getting sand blasted. I'm getting some protective film for them but I'd rather protect a nice new set than an old one.<p>Pete<p><br><i>Modified by pafox at 12:41 PM 4-7-2006</i><BR><BR>

Re: ? replacement bezels for fog lights (pafox)

lens or bezels?<br>

 

[HJZ]

If it's just the lense, maybe try some polish to see if you can restore them? I think I saw on speedvision once that they used Meguiar's (aluminum?) polish and cleared up a pair of headlights. It was rather interesting.

Re: ("R" Kelly)

Don't get it twisted <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://www.vwvortex.com/vwbb/biggrin.gif" BORDER="0"> . toothpaste for cleaning, BonAmi for glass polishing.<p>needsdecaf, I have helped along some pretty terrible looking windshields with the stuf, just watch the paint, it WILL scratch,<p>"R"Kelly, you happen to have access to the best cleaner I have EVER used for stainless steel (I keep seeing your OEM exhaust tips in my nightmares <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://www.vwvortex.com/vwbb/tongue.gif" BORDER="0"> ). It's some stuff in a tall pale green plastic bottle called "Stahl Fix". If you appreciate irony as much as I do, it is made by ... The Yankee Polish Company <IMG NAME="icon" SRC="http://www.vwvortex.com/vwbb/rolleyes.gif" BORDER="0"> . I got it when I was working in Germany and have never seen anything work nearly as effectively here.

The glass in "R" Kellys picture is pitted and chipped. The BonAmi may be a slow process ... they do sell glass polishing kits and generally they incliude a small drill mountable buffer head and an amount of special compound. These kits are generally too small to use on a windshield, but may be perfect for you (provided you remove the black surrounds first):<p><A HREF="http://www.jestcoproducts.com/glass_polishing1.html" TARGET="_blank">http://www.jestcoproducts.com/....html</A><p><IMG SRC="http://www.jestcoproducts.com/Jestco%20new%20pics/both_glass_kits.gif" BORDER="0"><p>BTW, the "small" kit is the right size for your project.
