Fog Lights
 
Guys, with the recent cessation of Fesler stopping his billet parts production and the ever so complicated Marquez debacle, the market is left with a void all of a sudden. I've Goggled and looked and can't find anything. I've even called Ring Brothers and Eddie Motorsports to see if either of the two have any plans to make a pair...both said no. So, are there any other manufacturer's out there making billet fog lights for 69 Camaro's now?

The only other option I've seen for custom fog/parking lights are these, but they're a polished stainless housing not billet.

I used these, I welded in a nut on the trim ring and it came out pretty good and super cheap. I really liked the fact that I could basically get any 4.5” lights to fit in there.

What happened to Fesler's billet product line?

They shut it down. They're only making the small stuff like the door handles and arm rests that go with their door panels. But, none of the other standard stuff they used to make like tail lights, hood/trunk hinges, etc. Word is Eddie Motorsports put a squeeze on them with his cheaper prices and Fesler couldn't compete. That, along with his rudeness, probably hurt him and his business.

His rudeness for sure. This is from his instagram.

"We are done trying to compete with China. No one making these parts has any idea of how to make these parts and just knocks it all off and sells it cheaper. They don’t know what they are doing and we are sick of it. Let’s see how many new parts they come out with now."

He has a point though. It's hard to compete with the market if people aren't willing to support american companies. I try to support american manuf whenever I can, and if there is an option available.

Not telling anyone else what to do with their money, but I can definitely see his point and frustration.

In more related news to this, i'm looking at options for making a set of foglights like the Marquez ones I have, checking what modeling cost is, and what machining costs are. I'm sure there is a market since running lights are few and far between with Fesler exiting and Marquez being impossible.

Probably a market for sure. If you could make them direct bolt in and possibly use something like a Harley Davidson Touring passing lamp or a jeep wrangler turn signal there would be unlimited possibilities. You could just sell the housings and let people buy whatever lights they wanted.
