Has anyone attempted to fabricate OEM Camaro foglight lenses in plastic or glass?

I have a set with cracked lenses, but the housings are in serviceable shape. Can a mold be made and the original lenses be recreated in some sort of clear plastic?

Someone has used the cover to the office building lights before. He replaced the bulds with leds. Which look cool.

You mean the overhead florescent lights inside office buildings?

Military Clone

Yep

Interesting, I never thought of that. I wonder what lexan would look like in our housings.

The problem, as I see it, is that if you use any type of plastic it will melt if you are using an incandescent bulb. Someone told me there are other lenses that will fit. (Cavalier, or something like that.)

I've been looking for possible lenses for other cars that might work, but have found none so far. I have even looked at trailer lights.

I wouldnt mind buying glass lenses, if someone were to make a mold and actually make them. I asked a few local glass shops and they just act as retailers. Glass making is a fading art.

It is a fading art... It isnt hard to do if you have the right equipment and know-how.

Aren't camaro foglights the same as 85-90 Trans Am foglights? If so, could buy replacement Blazer fogs for about $20 from walmart and the lenses are a direct replacement.

No, the Camaro lights are pretty different from the 85-90 Trans Am fog lights. The Camaro fog lights are a little bigger and have an angle on them. The Firebird fog lights are flat.

There are lots of foglights that are "Close" but there is only one real Camaro foglight... (Well, technically, TWO....) LOL. I need a passenger side lens. Thats all.

LOL, I said "...If you have the right equipment and know-how..." LOL, Neither of which I have!

Yes, bolt in.

for what it would cost to make a lens, you might as well just find a passenger fog light or even a set here or on ebay. I've seen two sets on here with complete lenses for less than $100 (without trim rings) and sunday I bought a fog light off of ebay for $25 (passenger side, no trim ring)

Are they discontinued from the Dealers?

The camaro ones are angled? On the bottom? Are they the same as the 91-92 birds?

They are angled towards one side. It´s to offset the angle of the front of the car so the foglights point straight forward.

I wonder why this was not achieved through angled brackets instead.
