    Has anyone ever removed a fog light lens? Much like you would remove a headlight lens if you wanted to do the BHLM.

    I assume you can heat the fog lights in the oven or use a heat gun to loosen the adhesive, then the lens will pop off with a little work. Just like it does with headlights.

    The entire inside of the fogs is a reflector surface. If you paint it, you’ll have no output since the reflectors are what give you the output. What is it you are looking to do?

    I have the black bezel OEM LED fogs at the moment. I was contemplating doing a couple things. One being a mini retrofit with putting halos inside the lens.

    I've not heard of anyone doing it for the fogs, but general principles of lens removal and reinstall should the same.

    Thanks for the Reply!
    I've completed the BHLM and was hoping these would be similar if not exactly the same.
