Default Need Help Identifying a Part

Now Im sure the answer is here somewhere...and if I knew what the darn thing was called, Im sure I would have found it right away...I went through about 7 pages before I my eyes quit hoping someone else has had the same problem recently :o

I circled what Im talking about:



I hit a flood area at night and lost both of them, so I tried to find some online, but my google fu was not strong with my made up terminology

Any help is appreciated

Thanks!

Default ....BLINDS?....

Stay out of the water!
Those fog light covers have several names:
BLINDS
FOG LIGHT COVERS
PLUGS
They appear on E-BAY form time to time. I have seen them listed as XB BLINDS or XB Fog Light Covers.
I have an old set in black, but your box is blue, correct?
I can't tell what color your box is.

My 'blinds' were modified to fit over the fog lights.

This might be a good time to go on to E-BAY and get a set of OEM (Original Equipment from Manufacture) FOG Lights for about $65.

I wanted fog lights, but the dealer price of $350 was TOO much. I got a set off e-bay for 107 and did the install myself.
The XB comes pre-wired, meaning the fog light wires are in place, even if you did not order fog lights. Pull down a wire harness and plug into fog light. These e-bay kits need to have a switch to fit above your butt lighter and a RELAY that you will need to plug into your fuse box. Any novice, like me, can do this install easily.

If you are black and you want my covers, let me know.

Yea, they quite literally snap right in. Make sure you get the one for the correct side though. Shouldn't take more than 20 seconds.

Or you could just spend the $50 more and get a set of the fog from someone who took them home from any East Coast meet. The Eastern region was handing them out for nothing last year. I bought a set for $20 and install in minutes.

I have seen them sell for around $100.
