How do I get a couple of sets??????

[DRPHIL914]

Jerry,

Pulled my fog light lenses and bezels . I assume you do not need my bulb socket and bulb. I have them packed and ready to go.
Thanks. Please PM me the ship to address.


@Spoke .

PM sent.

I just need the bezel, glass lens, and reflector. I don't need the bulb or socket.

I finally got all the quick disconnect spades ordered and received. The first batch of boards are now done including @mepstein 's.

PM received, lights boxed and ready to ship today, will get you PP sent this afternoon.

I have some V3 boards coming back from the fab house now. These boards are a bit larger (by 0.15 in) and thicker (1.2mm vs 0.8mm) than the first boards. I'll possibly make 5 sets available of the V3 boards. I should have these around Christmas time.

Stay tuned... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

I have a couple of Euro front turn signal buckets to send you.

Received @DRPHIL914 's fog lights today. His are a mix of early bezel with late lenses. The gasket used is much different from the 914rubber gasket and went completely around the glass and reflector.

Between the glass and reflector where the 914rubber gasket goes, someone had applied some sort of sealant. Took a razor blade, naphtha, and acetone to get the remnants off. One light had 3 clips and the other had 4 clips.

While scraping off the sealant, I scraped the plastic film off of the glass lens. I was wondering why the lenses looked hazy.

Sorry about all that extra work, I didn’t know about the sealant etc. bought them as a restored unit. I thing the film on the lenses was for protection against stone chips but probably cut down a lot on light transmission
Should be a lot brighter!!

Not a problem. For fitment, it's good for me to see what condition some foglights are in. For sure the gasket between the reflector and the glass lens should be new and the type sold by 914rubber. I'm not sure what type of gasket was used on your fogs. It seemed to be made for this application but doesn't work like the original gasket.

You bezels have been painted and I should have everything in the mail by Monday.

[Spoke]

The foglights for @DRPHIL914 are ready for shipping. The fit was much better than I had expected and the install went smoothly. The bezels were wet sanded and painted and new 914rubber gaskets were installed.

The spacer/alignment piece for the later glass lens is very thick (7mm) which allows the metal clips to hold them instead of the PCBs since these V2 PCBs are about 150mil too small. The thicker spacer doesn't deform with the pressure of the metal clips like the thinner ones printed for the early (deeper) glass lenses. Perhaps I'll stick with the thicker spacers even for the early glass lenses.

[DRPHIL914]

Wow those are spectacular!!! Really super!! Eventually I will be doing my tail lights but this was more needed, I am sure they will improve visibility immensely! And reall above and beyond touching up the bezels! Thanks so much!

I have the V3 foglight boards back from the fab house and started assembling them.

I plan to make 5 sets of these. I still want to assemble them myself so it would require folks to send me the bezel, glass, and reflector. I'm doing this so I can see for myself if these fit in the enclosure.

For pricing with these V3 boards is this:

$125/pair + $20 shipping includes:
New set of 914rubber gaskets (worth $20)I
You send the bezel, reflector, glass lens to me.
I'll paint the bezel, install the boards and return.

When I feel comfortable with the assembly in these first foglights, the foglights will be generally available for $150/pair.

[mepstein]

Wow! Thank you Jerry (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

Jerry,
Components are packaged and will send out today. I have the bezels, both type lenses, and the reflectors & clips. you should see them in a few days.
Thanks,
Danny

[DRPHIL914]

Package received today! I will install these tomorrow after work and take some more pictures,

Thanks again Jerry!

[Tbrown4x4]

Those look great! I sent mine Monday. You should get them Thursday.
I was bummed I forgot to take "before" pictures. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

And Jerry, I cleaned my lenses and painted the rings. My lenses have the 914Rubber chip guards on them too.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I plan to use mine like high beams. I’ll turn them off if cars are coming at me.

Used them as driving lights today and I know as I came up behind several drivers moved over as they saw me coming up from behind- that has not been the case even with other fog light and headlights on before, so I think with either then GE nighthawk or Vintage LED will give better visibility for me and to be seen by other drivers.
I know you have the GE ones right? That’s my next purchase after new front strut inserts

Yes. They are bright and have a sharp cutoff. 5 minute install. I would buy the again. My day said they were a big improvement on his 2013 Jeep.

I need to get on these.. I only have 1 fog light so I need to buy another for a core..

I was contacted by another member looking for a set of 914 foglights. Seems there should be a lot available but maybe not. I told him to contact @mepstein or @GaroldShaffer . Maybe Brad @914ltd would have a set or 2.

With the LED foglights, all you need is a decent rear enclosure, glass lens and bezel. The reflector and bulb socket are not used.
