Two Questions: Fog Lights & ABS

Two questions:

First, when I bought my '97 2.2 I had the optional Acura fog lights installed. Unfortunately, both lenses broke and I need them replaced, but Acura doesn't have the parts available anymore. Anyone know of aftermarket fogs that should be easy to install in place of the current lights?

Second, its my first vehicle with ABS. In the past three years I have had to replace three different wheel speed sensors. Is that routine with ABS systems, or just the one in the CL, or am I just having bad luck here? I hate to think Acura did a crap job with the design, but I don't have any other experience with other ABS systems' reliability to which I could compare.

well, as far as the light lenses, check ebay, salvage yards, etc....
and as far as replacing that many wheel sensors, thats really crappy, i've had 3 vehicles with abs ( including my 99 3.0 ), and never once had to mess with the abs, sounds like
1. bad luck
2. bad mechanic
3. both?

it's a crappy design, I've replaced 3 wheel speed sensors, my front axel, and both rear calipers, and still get the abs light after driving for 20 mins or so. Next will be the ABS module, that's like $800-1000

Acura did a crap job with the sensor...my 98 2.3 CL needs both rear ones replaced and given the number of people suffering from this I think it should be a recall issue

I drive a 97 3.0. The ABS light comes on frequently and makes mechanical noises. At this point, its just not worth fixing it.
