hey guys, im curious if anyone has modified or retrofit projectors into pre face fog lamps??? i would not mind having a better quality fog lamp while retaining oem styling. my idea is to use a single projector unit and retrofit. similar to some headlights that have been done by other members. any input is appreciated.

Might try seeing if any businesses nearby vacuum forms plastic. They could probably take the glass lens and make a clear plastic copy.
