Some guy on ebay makes lexan (plexiglass) replacements for our lenses. They are WAY less likely to break than the glass ones. I converted mine over, which is kind of a hassle (removing the old glass) but it was well worth it. I found no point in paying hundreds of dollars for a replacement light that will just break the same way as the original.

Go lexan, you'll be happy..

The hard part is getting the old glass out. It takes a while but it isn't difficult per se. With some safety glasses and pliars you shouldn't have any problem. After you get the old glass out you just use silicone to glue the new lens in and let it dry overnight.

Yes but they just pop right out of the bumper once you figure out how they're attached. The guy selling the lexan lenses gives you instructions with them.

When I bought my TL-S the passenger side fog light lens was shattered. I made the dealer agree to replace it. I'm sure glad I caught because I know how expensive the are to replace. Good luck on the replacement!
