I have a fog light that took a rock through the lens and needs to be replaced. Where can I get a good deal on an OEM or is there a better alternative that is brighter?

Sounds like you need the lens not just the light?

The lenses are pretty pricey and nothing to do with "brightness".

What you need and what's available depends on what year your car is. '04 - '06 are not the same as '07/'08.

That's correct, the lens is busted so I need a whole new light assembly. Where is a good place to get a new assembly? Do I have to remove the bumper to do this?

when I had the cracked foglights replaced on my tsx, the bumper was taken off.

MuskyHunter,

Acurapartswareshouse.com sells replacement OEM fog light assemblies for $209.89. That's about 80 bucks cheaper than the dealership price for the same part

As for the actual replacement procedure, I think that you have to remove the right and left side engine compartment cover and the front bulkhead cover but I'm not sure if you have to remove the front bumper for the foglights. This seems to be the case for replacing the headlight assemblies.

To remove the engine compartment covers:

1. Remove the washer reservoir cap, and release the hooks and pins, then remove the right side engine compartment cover.

2. Remove the left side engine compartment cover by releasing the hooks and pins.

3. Detach the clips, then remove the front bulkhead cover.




Hopefully someone else will stipulate whether or not you have to remove the front bumper to replace the foglights

I'd hit up your nearest scrap yard and try to get a deal on a used lens assembly

Got my passenger side Fog/Driving Lamp assembly shipped for $141.88 from Rock Auto back in April of this year for my 08 TL Type S.

Part number is AC2593108

Did NOT remove bumper. Went in through the wheel well
