Nice find. Do they look "normal" on the car? The factory lens has ribs and such to the inner guts of the light are not on display. These look perfectly clear... Or do they go over the factory lens just to protect them?Latitude48 wrote: Tue Aug 08, 2023 12:36 pm Here's a picture of the fog/driving light covers. Surprisingly, they are still available direct from the manufacturer in New Zealand. In US dollars the price is a bit over $71/pair, which is pretty cheap to protect expensive lights. These are UV stabilized Acrylic. Here's the link: https://www.airplex.co.nz/product/1549- ... clear-pair
Why no polycarbonate fog lenses?

As I said, I never installed them... but these do fit OVER the stock lens and the two plastic trim pieces.Tom wrote: Tue Aug 08, 2023 12:51 pmNice find. Do they look "normal" on the car?

Just curious...
Have you installed these covers as yet?
If so, how do they mount to the lens assemblies?
Cheers

Unfortunately, I have not installed these covers yet as I'm waiting until I install my Euro driving/fog light combo lights. I'll pull them out of storage and see how they attach. As I recall one end fits around one of the clear trim pieces and the other end attaches with a screw used for the trim... but I'll check and let you know.Gaspowered wrote: Sun Jan 12, 2025 10:54 amHi,Latitude48 wrote: Tue Aug 08, 2023 4:02 pmAs I said, I never installed them... but these do fit OVER the stock lens and the two plastic trim pieces.Tom wrote: Tue Aug 08, 2023 12:51 pm

These look like the one I bought, theyre not a good fit and I gave up trying to make them work. They dont match the shape of the bumperLatitude48 wrote: Tue Aug 08, 2023 12:36 pm Here's a picture of the fog/driving light covers.

These guards are nice, Theres a thread on renn list I started a while back about Morimoto maybe doing a complete lighting upgrade package for the 951.
Morimoto said they are working on it. Something similar to what they did for the Ferarri F355.
