Busted driving light
Just noticed that one of my 2003 TL-S driving light lens is smashed with the the bulb gone and the housing bent.
The dealer is asking $180 for the part plus labor to install it. Does anyone have links for better pricing on this? Also, I would like to get different bulbs to better match the headlight output (the stock driving lights look like crap next to the crisp white headlights).

wow! What happened?
If you can save the housing by reshaping it then you should just buy some plexiglass and make new and improved lenses.
While your at it remove the "scattershield" from inside the housing to GREATLY increase the lifespan of your Eaglight bulb that you should buy from Midnightmoose.com for about 20bux a pair there the best match(for less than 60bux) to our HIDs.

You got jacked...sorry to tell you bro. The fog light housing runs 180 bucks. Its easy enough to change. 1 bolt. Before I stuck HIDs in mine I had PIAA extreme whites. They were pretty nice. Just keep in mind....cheaper bulbs burn out quicker and if you did the fog light mod like me all that flashing when you arm and disarm your alarm will take its toll on your bulbs. Even with the hid fogs I turn them off if I remember just to keep the wear and tear off the setup.
