Thanks guys. I’m still debating on tearing these things back open if I can find a just set of lens, not sure if they are sold that way. I know it’s gonna bug me seeing the dust and these little lines.

Dont give me me any ideas Ecks!!!

I retro'd my old fogs yrs ago with them and they worked great.

Daaaaaamn!!! Great job. Gimme the deets on the truck! And I would NOT retro the fogs. Pop on some morimoto and call it a day. Or even the knock offs will work. If you used the butyl to reseal em, it will be way easier to crack em open this time. But you’re right, the dust and little cracks would bug me too

thanks dunatic. I appreciate your help along the way. It was a learning curve for me and the mistakes I made were from nothing but rushing towards the end. I was supposed to be off work the last couple of days and had to go in for a few hours this morning. So, I started sealing up last night because I wanted these in today. Having said all that, I think my biggest issue is the little hairline “cracks” all over the lens. I can only guess it’s from the heat and prying then open. Now I’m debating on trying to get my lens off my factory’s and putting them on the retros....

Retro looks great BigFord. Post your output shots please
