Update: Porsche 993 Fog Light Reconditioning

In preparation for a bumperette delete and taking advantage of a Pelican Parts, I ordered "clear corner" lights for the 993.  Excited to see how they would look, I popped them...and was pretty bummed.

A couple months ago, I painted the inside of the fog lights silver to take care of yellowing plastic (post here).  The fogs look great on their own, but when I installed the clear corners, they don't match color wise.  The fit between the corners and the fogs is not as tight as I would like either.

At this point, I have a couple of options:
  • Get over it
  • Repaint the fog light plastic trying to match the clear corners
  • Replace the fogs with one of the brake duct fog light replacements
  • Swap clear corners for amber corners
Not sure which way I will go yet.
