    New Foglights

    I want new ones and I want ZKW or other glass equivalent ones. The only place I have found that have them are pelican parts at $178 a PIECE! Anyone know of other places that sell glass foglights or do I have to pony up the $356 on these?

    I've been poking around for these recently too. BMA quotes ~166 each on the site, KO has them at ~137 ea. Still, I'm unable to find anything lower.

    I considered trying crappy ebay reps... for about 5 minutes.

      Haha, the $38 ones with $38 shipping?? Do it and let me know the quality. I'm sure some Lamin-X on them will help with pitting, but if a rock comes, forget it!

        I am sad to say I am considering making the plunge for the $38 ebay ones... even new plastic lenses are $30 a side plus shipping.

        Fog blanks are still cheap however!!

          Those EBay reps dont look bad. Would you rather spend 80 bucks on a set or 350bucks on a set only to get holes in them or smashed while trying to drift a parking lot?

          I did the cheap Mr. Lens plastic replacements around 5 years ago and they still look great. no holes, no leaks.

            You will see nice used oem sets from time to time on ebay sell for $50 range with shipping usually around $15.

                  That's weird, because I thought you got them before me. He sent me a PM about 4 days after I wanted them and told me they were sold. I assumed you got them because we were the only two to post in the thread. Hmm.

                    Has anyone else tried those egay ones? I normally don't deal with anything but OE or better lighting, but it seems every decent pair of fogs I come across has hacked or rusty connections inside.

                      All I've seen is way too expensive as well. I'm thinking of getting plastic lenses and some laminex to prevent pitting, or go for the ebay ones. My current ones are so pitted that you can't even see the lens behind the glass.
