Your actual/typical foglight usage
#31
Complete fog lights are around $300 each here now, I've fitted Perspex covers over mine but if one got broken I'd look to replace them with a pair of small round projector lamps, one fog and one driving on each side.

Where did you get perspex covers? is it a molded piece like the original or something that fits sort of over/around the original glass?
i've had 80-mil protective film over my fogs since i installed them but a big rock was still able to crack one of them, I am now looking at an alternative, but if you've got a good perspex piece it would save me some trouble.

If you're blinded by 951 fogs you need to get some more vitamin A in your diet or something. Seriously, the 951 fogs are not that bright, and the vast majority of the energy is scattered just a couple meters in front of the car. If I were to hazard a guess, the marginal decomposition difference between a retina faced with an oncoming 951 running with fogs and one with just low beams is probably insignificant compared to regeneration time in either case.
I don't know about you guys, but when stray light (fogs, mis-aimed headlights, etc) hits my eyes, it actually hurts my eyes. If it's sustained, I get a headache too. And I know at least 3 other people who are the same way. You may have never thought about it as a big deal, but it is to many, like me. Vitamin A? Come on, be a little considerate.
