Exclamation Rock "bullet hole" in 2007 Foglight

I am unsure when, but I took a rock in the foglight and it broke right through...

Anyone know if just the lens is available to replace this? The light still functions perfectly.

And until the cover gets fixed, is there a temporary solution to keeping stuff out of the light? Tape falls off with the heat/moisture/wind...



I hate winter gravel

Damn dude something similar happened to my 07 tls.......but the rock didnt break through...it looks like yours but with no actual hole. I would suggest to put heavy duty scotch tape on it.

I dont have the 07 fogs but ive had my share of hell with them on the 03 model. I got so fed up with the BS I went to an guy by my house who specializes in acrylics so I gave him the fogs and had him remove the old glass and replace it with "super strength" acrylic.

I just had the exact same issue happen this weekend. Drivers Side Foglight lense broken. Everything else is fully functional.

Its too bad that I have to replace it already... Are there any instructions on how to replace the Fog Light? Do I have to take off the entire bumper?

Thanks,
David

I had the same thing happen to my car. Following behind an equipment hauler, dirt clot flew off the truck when he hit a bump and it destroyed the lens. I haven't fixed it yet, but I'm curious how long it would take. They quoted me 250.00 for the light, or something like that; it's been 3 or 4 months since it happened.

OMG! I thought it was just me. Same here! I noticed my bullet hole about a week ago. I haven't worried much because I figured it should be cheap and easy to replace.

get at that dude that made the acrylic lens, might have a group buy on your hansd, I'd be interested in that, haven't taken a shot to the foglight, but in case shit, I'd like to have an option

If someone is willing to donate a broken fog I might be able to get something fabricated out of Lexan.

I just need a template and a fog housing, I have the big machines to do it. I'm in Miami right now but I can coordinate this easily from here. Just get me a fog.
