Default fog light covers or just lenses?

Does anyone know where you get just the lenses or covers for the fogs? Thanks

The lenses alone are not available, and anyone who has a good set will want a crazy price for them.

You can get thick plastic film to protect the glass from laminx.

Or you can get molded plastic covers from a British guy named Martin Mackay, if you search his name on Google.

Porsche still sells lenses for less than $200 last I checked. Bought a passenger side one.

Fog lens covers, old thread, but now you have a idea of what you can do.

I have a set of these. They work well, it was necessary to trim them a little but overall fitment is good. The screw caps are junk and fall apart but it doesn't really matter. From 3 meters distance you can't tell that lenses are covered with something.

That's pretty useful but last year a damn rock cracked the drivers fog lens. Not sure if the cover would have helped but if it does help I will purchase. The cool thing about my 86 is they sport the Euro lights, 2 bulbs per assembly on both sides and 2 switches in cockpit. Awesome night driving but not fun for oncoming traffic. I kept the cracked assembly for parts and painfully purchased a new expensive unit which sucked on my wallet. At least the Euro inners were transferable to the new assembly.

3M clear - works excellent and won't yellow. http://www.invisiblemask.com/imask/i...t_UaAvk68P8HAQ

This also comes in a spray application that works almost as well. You can buy this at any AutoZone or parts place. I've used it and it's around $20 bucks if I recall.
