    Default How do I replace a cracked foglight?

    I have an issue atm a stone has flicked up and cracked the lense on one of my foglights, it still works fine but bothers me all the same...will I have to replace the whole thing (which will probably mean buying a whole set) or can I buy just the front lense from somewhere?

    You'll probably have to buy two entire foglights... because those are not factory foglights.

    yeah I had a feeling I would, does anybody know by looking at them what brand they may be and where I can get replacement parts? because they were installed before I bought this car

    I have same problem but mine are genuine SS spots, yours look like aftermarket.

    Will be good to see what people recomend cause i really have no idea how to even get the fogs out, anyone got a link?

    Have a good look on ebay, a while back I saw someone selling genuine foglights without the bracket for a lot cheaper than retail, from memory $90 or so.

    Put your head under the front bumper and youll soon see how to remove them... Three 10mm bolts in a triangular pattern, and they slide out frontwards

    thanks mate, if I replaced non-genuines with genuines though would the wiring have to be changed aswell or do you think it would work just as it did before?

    I would also check to see if the wiring plug has been chopped or spliced as the lights you have are aftermarket. I doubt they will have an OEM plug attached to it.

    Check to see if any other holes or cutting has been made to your bar before buying genuine.
    You should only see 3 small holes around a large centre hole. If thats the case, and the wiring has not been hacked then you can go the original fog lights.

    If it has been altered, measure the circumference of lights you currently have and look for something similar on ebay.

    I've ended up grabbing a replacement from autobarn for $59 and am going to get it installed when I get around to doing my SS headlights
