Aftermarket Fog Light Replacement

I was looking at getting these replaced as both have cracked and I don't wanna go with glass. I have also seen the DIY replacement with lexan glass, but honestly dont want to deal with the hassle at the moment.

Has anyone had experience with aftermarket ones? Fit good? Any issues?

This is the seller I'm looking at on ebay

2002 2003 Acura TL Type S A Spec UA5 Front Clear Driving Bumper FOG Lights Lamps | eBay

Unfortunately being in Canada, ebay is probably my best choice here.

Yea, I hadn't seen it either, but it may be better. Both sides of this car's fog lights got a rock within the first year of owning it. It would be nice to have something that lasts a bit longer without having to install the lense myself

I understand you might not want to do the lexan, I did the procedure and its not hard at all, basically you just heat them up in the oven for a few mins and use a flat head and pry the glass off, it can get a little messy but after the glass is out use a razor blade and get the old gasket out then I unbolted the little shield so my fogs were brighter with the led bulbs, but use clear rtv and put that in. I was very hesitant at first but if you can change your own oil then you sure as hell can do this.

Also you can buy precut lexan lenses on ebay for much cheaper, and lexan is way stonger so it wont crack at all and ive had mine on for 20k and they dont seem to get dirty at all, i mean after 10k miles with them, they are still crystal clear!

Hope this helps!

Mine are actually pristine and the bezel I painted is now chipped but the Lexan is crystal clear.
