Fog light lens

I was just outside and noticed that one of my fog light lens is cracked. Looks like it got hit with a nice rock, which is possible because the roads are salty due to tons of snow lately. Is it possibly to buy just one fog light or preferably just the lens itself? This is the OEM fog light kit installed on the OEM body kit.

somewhere on the rsx forums theres a DIY to replace them, doesn't look too hard. but sanding it down might take awhile. although the material he used was like shatter proof, he hit it with a bb gun and a samurai sword LOL

I'm in the same boat. I'd love to find an oem set on fleabay or something, but thus far no luck. Seems to be pretty common though. If I'm not busy this weekend I might hit a local junk yard or two to see what they'd charge if I can find one. Anybody else tried this? If so, what did they charge?

Both the foglights cracked on my 06 tsx within the first 6 months. The dealer replaced them free as a one-time goodwill. I now have rockblocker on them.

When did you have them do that? I have a 2006 TSX that's still under warranty for a little bit more time.

That's pure luck or a very generous dealer. Most dealers will not replace cracked fog lights as they're wear and tear from the road. In actuality, they're just stupid design because they're glass!!!

Before the 1st year was up. Other posters, besides me, had their foglights replaced free by their dealers. Have to ask-maybe you will be lucky.
