I hate Winter...

Both of my fog light lenses are cracked thanks to the road salt, rocks, etc.

I was wondering where I can find the OEM lenses for a decent price or if the aftermarket ones are OK. I found a smoked lense aftermarket set for $105.

Also, any recommendations for upgrading the actual bulbs? The stock ones are those "dirty yellow" lights and I'd like to get a pair of bulbs to match closer to the "clean" color of the headlights.

Thanks in advance.

Yup, one of my fog lights cracked also, and I replaced the lens with polycarbonate material such as Lexan or Makrolon.

It started to bubble up, despise being told that it wouldn't.
I bought a whole replacement fog, though, oem with glass lens. Still havnt installed it yet.

I would check ebay.

I would upgrade the bulbs to HIDs.

In the future, I would apply a film to the foglights. Lamin-X, for example. It should help keep road debris from cracking the glass.

Or you can add Plexiglas to the inside of the bumper bezel. I did my old TL-S in yellow, but you can do clear also. Can't get better protection then a 1/4" Plexiglas. Better than film IMO.

04-06 fog lights built into the headlights FTW!

I had separate fog lights in my last two cars. Got sick of them breaking.
