FLASHMSTRC Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I have a crack in my driver's side fog light lens that is distorting the output from my PIAA Ion Crystal bulbs... Anybody know of someone parting out an LGT or have any advice on how to replace the lens? I got quoted a little over $250 at Farrish for a whole new housing...Thanks in advance.

subarupartsdude Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 The best i could do for ya is $210 plus tax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLASHMSTRC Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 Is that for a complete housing? No way to just get the lens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VtspecB Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 An aside, any pics with those PIAA's? Contemplating a set myself? Where did you get them?

700watts Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 250 ain't bad...I payed that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLASHMSTRC Posted September 26, 2007 Author Share Posted September 26, 2007 It's not bad if you need the whole housing, but just for a glass lens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillboy Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 This is why I had clear shield placed on my lights (and fogs) when I had my clear bra done. It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLASHMSTRC Posted September 26, 2007 Author Share Posted September 26, 2007 What did that run you? I'm thinking about doing the clear bra... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLegacy99 Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 250 ain't bad...I payed that I went JDM when it was gonna cost me $180 for the foglight in my '99. Ridiculous for that little tiny thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sgt Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I see a lens in the parts catalog for 72 bucks Sorry, it looks like thats for the outback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLASHMSTRC Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 Yeah that was what I found too...kinda odd that you can get a lens for an Outback which is a bigger lens, but not for the LGT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenonk Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 It's not bad if you need the whole housing, but just for a glass lens? yea, it sux, but you just have to suck it up. once you get that replaced, get some Rockblocker. I got a set of something way thicker (Stongard, before they went out of business for copying 3M naming convention and rebadging the protective film to sell it without 3M's consent). Rockblocker is so damn thin compared to Stongard [hence why i bought Stongard in the first place) I knew it was going to be expensive to replace those housings, so I got myself some headlight protective film to place over it. It's perfect for track days. While you can't get Stongard anymore, you can still buy the protective film from a 3M dealer and cut the film out yourself. The product number should be 3W26X and 25M26X: http://www.hillas.com/Polymask/Item.asp?Ses=0&ID=3W26X http://www.hillas.com/Polymask/Item.asp?Ses=0&ID=25M26X Here, you can see a pic of my messed up job when I applied it to the driver side headlight [at the corner of the headlight]. I was doing this in the middle of a 107F day, and I was getting lazy and lost concentration and ended up stretching too hard and making it mis-aligned. The other headlight and foglights came out perfectly. Oh well, not a big deal, it's a small price to pay compared to a $500+ headlight housing being broken: http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/2082/img00217ym.jpg Most Rockblocker stuff is around just 4 mil (or .04" thick or 1/24" thick).. the stuff I have is 2x as thick.. you can literally see the thickness and you can feel it if you run your hand over the edge of it. But no one will see it once it's on the car and as long as you dont point it out to someone. Keefe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
