I won't be able to give you a comparison of before/after with the output... (Unless I can find someone in town with stock fogs.) However, once I get these polished the way I like them, I'll post up some pics of the completed project.

I might have to try this mod!!!!

here are the before and afters of when my friend did them.

Sweet thanks Mario! That's exactly what I was wanting to see. I believe the polishing will give me a better visual appearance without diving into the deeper pockets for alumachroming.

My roommate looked at this thread... he said you can buy SunTube extensions. They're essentially mirror polished metal that could be cut via template and adhered to the inside of the fog housing. Might be an interesting idea.

That is an interesting idea... but where to find said "tubing" is another story.

Here's a couple shots to show an update.





This is after sanding with 1600 wet. I'm going to take them to the polishing wheel hopefully on saturday. Pardon the extremely low quality of the shot, I had to use my webcam as my wife took my camera with her again.

Seems like ALOT of work just to get a brighter light output...

I personally like and therefore own the JDM fogs.

Alright... I know this looked like quite a bit of work to finish... but here's the final product:



I think the final look is just as good as JDM fogs. I haven't found another box with OEM fogs yet to take a picture as a side by side before/after, but I'll continue looking.

Any before and after shots? Pics of it lit up?

I have no before/after pics since this is the first time I've had them on my box. The best I can do is find another box with OEM fogs and give you an idea from that. I'm about to take a couple night pics... I'll have them up in a few.

I'm not after a bright light output... if I were, I would have just gone with a 3K HID kit. I was after a bright visual appearance while driving down the road during the day or parked. The parabolic lens doesn't change the reflective appearance polished or not. The visual look of the fog lights just no longer look "dim/dull" when compared to the headlight.

Here's a couple night shots (finally).

You can also media blast the aluminum to get a very bright output. You'll have to strip them down and reseal them but it looks great.

Very nice. I've always hate the light out put the stock units have.

one of these days I need to do this
