I can't remember what brand of glue, but just get a strong plastic epoxy and make sure to get some strong clamps to clamp the lexan on to the fog light housing. Also, sand the edges of the housing so it will stick better to it.

Nevermind you said option 1... 3/8 in lexan? What kind of glue do you guys use to seal it back up?


Use the plastic epoxy to glue it together and then silicone it when the epoxy is dry. It's not hard but you might wanna do a little research before you go to tackling it.

thanks A-bomb.

guys, when i did mine i didnt want to wait 24 hours so i put screws in each corner. the bumper hides them so they are not visible once they are on. when screwing in the screws, do it slowly or the lexan will crack. after i mounted all the screws i used clear silicone to make sure no water gets in. i havent had a problem with them and its been almost 2 years

You need to get clear lenses for those sidelights.

But, with that avatar, you're excused.

Got mine from Luke at Lindsay Cadillac. Seems like they were about $248 to my door ... that was a few years ago, though.
