I read somewhere here that we can remove some metal price inside the fog light assembly and that'll give more light. Anyone know how to do it and may be have some pix? Is it worth doing it?
TIA

to seal it back up just put it back in the oven for like 2 minutes. then take soemthing old and scrape out all the old silicon. then go to home depot and buy some silicon and fill up the gap with silicon then push the glass back together and put back all the clips. the clips will make sure its a tight seal

if people are scared to do it i'll do it for you guys for like 10 bucks or something plus shipping. the 10 bucks will just be my labor and the silicon and stuff i need to buy to do it. i've done this a few times already.

without the glare gaurd you can look directly inside and see the actual bulb. so when you turn on the bulb it directly goes to the ground.

imaging putting a cover over the lamp on your desk. see how dim it it. it has to reflect of the inside of that cover to get the light out. now if you remove that cover it just lights everything up.

Being that it's the "glare" guard, it the glare bad to the oncoming traffic after removing the shield?
And, you are saying that we don't need any adhesive, just silicone?
Thanks a lot for your help man.
