I wasn't a fan of NJ before but now I really HATE it (not it's residents just it's highways)!!! Last night I was going home after work on the turnpike, I was in the middle lane behind a car and decided to change lanes to the right lane...as I begin to make the switch WHAP...I hit a large orange consruction cone just sitting in the middle of the turnpike btw the lanes. :smackhead Mind you this was not a construction zone. Worst of all I couldn't have even attempted to swerve it b/c I never saw it until it was right in front of me. :banghead: Needless to say it shattered my passenger fog light (fog light bulb and strobe light too).

 

well the way I see it, the fog lights are bound to crack anyways. Whether you do city or highway driving, these fog light lenses are easily crackable. But I do see why you would be pissed off. I too would be pissed. Hopefully the cone didn't do any body damage around the frame of the fog light lense.

 

cant you file something with the city and have them pay for it?

 

bummer man! atleast it wasnt a headlight

 

bound to crack?...they may not be superstrong but that doesnt mean it's that easy to crack

 

Sorry to hear about that bro but at least we don't have potholes the size of texas here in jersey.

 

lol blackshadow, and the fact that everything isnt worse than it really can be, its ok. suck it in and see u on the turnpike, o wait...i dont even Drive in the turnpike!

 

I live in Chicago and both of my fog lenses are cracked! Here in Illinois its NOT illegal for stone trucks to drive with a cover on. There's so many rocks that fall on the highway and nail your car!

Both my lenses are gone but the lights still work. Acura quoted me 400/piece for the lenses. Thanks but I'll pass on that one..!! Sucks but what are you going to do?

 

Get plexiglass

 

like i said...unfortunately with the TL if you drive it, it is nearly guaranteed to crack.

driving the TL 1200 miles a month or more = probable cracked fog lenses.

 

i replaced two already ....i wish they only sold the glass...next time im gonna try the plexi glass mod that i read about on here..... but it would be great if someone made a plexi or plastic cap that fit over and snapped in place right over the stock lens. Sly's in for a new fog light and another 30 for a strobe lamp .... so your looking at about 120 bucks in parts. Last time i bought a fog it cost me in the ball part of 90 bucks i remember.That 400 quote must be for parts n labor and the special dealer service fee.

 

this kind of thing makes me glad that my '00 TL never came with fogs...one less thing i have to worry about (and pay for).

 

Bro where'd you get your fog light from? I've replaced this one once already and it cost me $150 for the housing...if this one costs me the same we're talking $150 for the housing, $30 for the strobe light, $90 for PIAA bulbs (since they don't sell singles), so that's $270...not to mention the time to cut the fog light to fit the strobe. Or I can reuse the old one which just has a crack in the lens.

 

At least NJ Turnpike don't have deers, or else it's not just your fog light.
