Ok so I have read that a few people have done this on their tc and I had my is300 fogs left from when I had my 93 gs300 so I thought i would take a stab at it. I didn't like the fact of people flipping the projectors and loosing the up and down adjustment ability of the fog lights. I also didn't like the yellow and wanted white, and I didn't like how the chrome fog light housing would look on my bsp tc. So to remedy these problems, I painted the housing, I sanding and polished the shiet out of the projector lenses, and I cut out the cutoff shield, I will be making my own. Here are a few pics of what I have so far.

I am eager to get them on, all I still have to do is polish the lenses and I'm waiting on my lower grill so that I can do everything in one shot.

Anyone know why my pics aren't showing up?

Its not a new lenses in the yellow after being sanding down for a few days.


I was thinking of that, but i like the idea of having a housing around the projectors. And I already had the is fogs so I thought i might as well make use of them.

so you sanded down the lenses??...this looks like a good custom ...ummm retrofit..idk what to call it....besides a custom job

Yes the glass isn't painted or anything though. Its actually stained. So you have to sand the actual glass down until you get past the stained glass. That equated to about 2 hrs of sanding per lense with a power sander and then wet sanding, also with a power sander. An on top of that polishing with a high speed dremel. I've never done it before so I thought I would give it a try and it came out real nice. I also cut out the cutoff shield. I finished the other lense today, here are so pics.

It takes alot of polishing, but the finished product is almost better than the original. And I wanted something to match my h.i.d and the yellow wasn't gonna work.


here is the stock housing vs. the one with cutoff shield removed.

This one is with the shield


And this is without it

Sooo ... are they done yet!? :D I also have a question ... it's gonna sound real nerdy ... but if you sanded down the glass enough to get the tint out ... doesn't that change the thickness of the glass (thereby changing the angle of refration and spread of the light)? I would think sanding it that much would severely affect light output ... what do you think? Oooo! I wanna see the finished product already!

nah, the base of the projector is really thick and I think i took off maybe a mm of glass. Its just very hard to take off that mm and polish it back up. I think the light output now is better than it was stock or maybe sharper? Maybe its just because the yellow doesn't seem as bright. I just finished polishing the plastic lenses that cover up the housings and I'll put putting those on today. So they will be ready to put in the car by tonight. But I won't be able to put then on the car for a week or two. I am waiting for my lower grille to get made and I might be getting a front lip so I want to wait till all that is figured out so I'm not taking the bumper off a million times.

Here is a pic of the projectors screwed down into the housing.
