I'd check with the dealership or a junkyard. Junkyard would be the cheapest.

my right fog light lens got hit with a rock too and I want to replace just the lens but I went to the dealership (Park Ave Acura) and they told me that they couldn't just replace the lens, they have to replace the whole unit. The whole thing would cost $130 for the part and that's not including labor!
For now I'm just going to leave it. Let me know if you find somewhere that will fix it.

Wow.. that's a killer price. Lowest I've seen is $180. In fact, that's we can get it for.....

Replacing the fog lights takes no more than 5 minutes. I dont understand how it could've taken you guys an hour at the dealership to have it replaced or actually pay the dealer to replace it for you. Cheapest I've seen online for the fog lights is $145 plus shipping.

I had both of my fog lamps replaced with an insurance claim along with a damaged bumper. My right fog was cracked and the left one has a ding chip. It costs $160 each for the fog housing.
You can see pictures of the damaged fogs that I have here:

In my opinion, these lamps looks cool but are not very practical, the lens is made from glass and the smallest pebble can crack them. That sounds like a design flaw to me.

no labor needed

I can replace my own fog light. Its takes about like 5-10 mintues but I just Want my fog light replaced. IT looks so ugly with that crack. Well $130 is the cheapest I got so far from you guys. Maybe I can dig around for a better price. Thanks so far.

There is a set for sale. I think the bis is $58 for a pair of the whole fog lamp. Very easy to install.
