How-to turn foglights into birdcages
Things needed:
Good multipurpose shears
7mm wrench
7mm, 8mm sockets and ratchet
Something with a 6" diameter, I used a carburetor breather bottom
Sharpie
Hinged gutter guards, Lowes $10
Plasti Dip, Lowes $5
Step 1: remove radiator cover and the two top bolts of bumper cover, pull bumper cover off tabs, unplug foglights and remove the three retaining screws, unsnap plastic bracket from foglights and remove from top separately being careful not to damage fins on condenser.
Step 2: cut 12" off of gutter guard, shape over breather and using sharpie to mark and cut off excess on the side to aid in folding and make retaining flanges, no material will taken off top and bottom, be very careful taking the new part in and out as not to scratch anything as you match to foglight retaining srew post
Step 3: paint the parts and the area of bumper cover that can be seen through the birdcages with Plasti Dip, bolt the new parts in with the foglight screws and replace bolts and cover
Step 4: enjoy
