someone posted instructions on how they replaced just the lens, but had to "home manufacture" the lens. I recall the instructions being illustrated and detailed.

Otherwise, I think you have to replace the entire unit.

Look in the 2G RL Garage section first. csmeance has tried to catalog a lot of the helpful threads into a useful order.

I replaced my passenger side one with an OEM replacement (prior to discovering this Forum). Paid somewhere around $125 for replacement assembly. I didn't remove the bumper and it was a REAL PAIN but got it done. I would now recommend following the link (above).

thanks for the link white05, and FML my driver side just cracked as well so now i have 2 cracked fogs and im not sure how it happen!!! is it possible for the lenses to crack when its cold out side -10c and then me going threw a car wash that i think use hot or somewhat warm water? i ask this because its just cracked with a line threw the center of the lens and i havent been driving behind salts trucks. but then again it could be from the stones on the ground. wtf
