This would give you a better idea, a more brute approach with cutting the housing but same capsule: http://mysite.verizon.net/dinhdu/index.htm

Btw, OP, looks freaking awesome! Immediately i started thinking of doing the same, but i will be taking things in a different direction for next year!
Thanks!

BTW, baking the fog lights is super simple. 250 degree's for 10 minutes and the lenses come off very easily. I was kind of scared to do it at first, but it is a piece of cake.

Yes, those are the ones. They are from an Acura Integra, exactly what I put in my car.

Also, contact these guys, they have them for sale, they are cheaper than Ebay.

Oh, BTW, I also did this little project for both headlights and fog lights.

I used the 3M Headlight Restoration Kit you can buy at Wal-Mart.

I highly recommend this. Take your time, about 45 minutes for each light.

Now all my front lights are pretty much like brand new.

^^ Just to confirm, the one lens is 'yellowed' before the restoration?

I have one of mine that is yellow, and the other is fine, it is **** off, and tried a couple of things with no luck...

Yes, both were yellowed and kind of foggy, now they are both clear.

Very easy to do. My fog lights are now completely independent of everything.
