So I am trying to install my clear fogs just like the instructions say to, but i ran into a snag. I got off the lenses by baking them like recommended, but the new lense doesn't fit right. The divider piece inside the housing is too long so the lense does not fit on all the way. Anyone done this before? Please help.

Re: Please Help!!

Yeah, no sweat. That is really soft metal, you can cut it with a scissors.

Just pull it straight out (yes, it will come out with some muscle), then cut a straight line with the scissors and place it back where it came from.

Re: Please Help!!

I cut it easily with scissors, I didn't want to discard it because I have plans to put HID fogs in and removing it would cause a blinding effect to oncomming traffic.

Yup, just pull the piece out and trim it up. I used tin snips on mine.

Re: Please Help!!

Thank you so much for your help guys. I wasn't expecting to have to do that. Well they are on and look great. Im gonna put some pics up soon. I had the biggest headache though. I got the epoxy all over the lenses and had to wet sand and polish them to make them clear again. LOL.

Re: Please Help!!

Yeah dude it is a ROYAL pain in the ass.

My right side lense fell completely off. It is still there but it is not attached to the housing. Im too lazy to fix it for now.

Re: Please Help!!
