Default Fog light question!

whats up guys, i have a 2001 gs300 and i notice that my fog lights looks very dirty.... the lens are not clear at all and they look very dirty... i tried meguairs plastx on them and it made no difference... i think its the inside that is dirty for some reason... my question is how to take off the fog lights? do i need to remove my front bumper? are there screws that hold the fog lights in place behind the front bumper or is it just the two screws u see in the front?

The foglights are glass. The PlastX will not work on them. Yes; only those two screws hold them in (and the bulb wiring harness). Good luck, man.

There's not much that will clear them up. There's a few glass polishes out there that might help a little although it probably won't make a huge difference. Zaino is the one that comes to mind although I'm sure there are others.

Either that or the lenses are cloudy from being sandblasted on the highway over the years. Thats how my originals were.

cool ty for the link. i like the fog set up but don't know if i like that front bumper with that odd body line over the fogs/under the headlight. curious to see the rear as no pic was on their website of the rear. sigh would be great with 4 fog HIDS but man would draw some current drain and im already having one not always light up all the time i need to get that harness clifford (i think his name is) offers
