I was going to do the DIY on replacing the foglight glass today and replace the glass with lexan glass. Both of my fogs are broken and the left one I can do fine because the inside of the housing is good, but this is what I found when I went to do the right one....what are my options? I tried to clean it but it looks like the reflective coating is bad. Do I have to purchase a new foglight assembly ($125) fuck fuck fuck or is their an aftermarket option that is cheaper/better. I am using the stock bumper btw.

At that point I would just replace it man.

I have a pair of broken fog lights, (driver side) with a rock chip about a size of a quarter, (passager side) a slight horizontal line that crack in the the middle. I end up replacing them with brand new ones, was hoping one of these days i would have time to replace with lexan glass and use as a back up. PM me if you want them.

Nice, I remember seeing your thread but I wasn't sure this would look good on the OEM bumper and I am guessing it would end up costing me more, I would be willing to do after market option that would cost me less

well keep us posted what direction you take...

If you replace the oem fogs with more from Acura, just get on down to a shop that sells the clear bras and etc... buy some of the thick 3M clear and apply it to your lenses. It's a quick job and the 40 mil (? been a while) is bombproof.

I went through two fogs before wising up and now have a few years w/o incident --although there are pockmarks on the shielding. The lenses are intact, however, and you cannot see they're coated with the protective layer at all. I think I paid $12 for a sheet the size of notebook paper and that's way more than I needed.

ok im in the same boat. i have my passenger side foglight that broke.
Where do you guys buy or get this lexan glass? Is it a direct fit and is it easy to install?

Home Depot sells it and you will need a cutter to cut it to an acceptable shape. jhal did a write up and his cut wasn't anywhere near pretty, but it still worked fine because the bumper covers the edges. https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-rl-2005-2012-76/g-009-diy-rl-fog-light-glass-replacement-769528/
