My passenger fog light cracked and a new OEM light was around $180, so I just bought a set of Depo's on eBay for $190. So now I have an OEM driver light I will be selling. Then I was told about Lexan and found an eBay seller who I had already purchased from before. So I sent my 2010 passenger fog light and my 2007 TL Driver fog light to Bart who is going to make precut Lexan for them, he will be selling them here:
http://stores.ebay.com/Sauga-Image?_rdc=1

I will post an update once he has them listed (should be soon as the lights have already been delivered).

finally got around to replacing it, kind of a pain in the ass, but all in all, not that bad....

was able to remove part of the wheel well and some of the bolts and clips underneath and get to it with a stubbie phillips and managed to get it out....also had to move the brake cooling duct out of the way as well...

used a depo brand replacement....fit perfect, looks perfect
