2012 Fog Light - Full replacement


My passenger side fog light was shattered (see pics). Not that I would have them do it, but the Acura dealer wanted $440 to replace it. Balking at that and without asking, I assume that they are wanting to replace the entire molding with the reflector lights?

Before I go buying new fog lights, is it pretty straight forward in swapping them out? Undo around 4 or 5 bolts on the bottom cover below everything or is it in more detail than that? Any help would be appreciated as I checked for videos on replacing them with no luck.

Actually, found this. But will this replace the lens as well?

I agree! They are mainly charging you for the labour (I hope). Because you have a newer TL, you can get those LED Morimotos.

This is the part from acura, just the foglight glass/bowl itself without the extra bits:

It's $140 plus shipping, use coupon code acurazine to save 5%

If the XB LED's are cheaper, try those out! However you may have a harder time seeing in fog since the light they emit is white and fog lights tend to be yellow to increase contrast.

Thanks for the link from Walmart. Actually went with these which are most likely the same thing. I plan on putting them in today.

Didn't have the balls to justify spending $150 on fog lights... even though the LED's are pretty slick. I already dropped over $2k out of the gate on timing belt and alternator.
