Have you bought a new fog light housing?
Long story short I have to replace the fog light housing on the passengers side due to extensive damage.
I was wondering who has bought an after market and the price that they paid for it. OEM is about $251 and DEPO is $114. Obviously im going to buy depo but was wondering if anyone had a better price and who they purchased through.

yeah I know $221 for a dam fog light is outrageous.

yeah the price point on this fogs are ridiculous! I tried to find a set to do a projector retrofit with and wasn't about to drop that much on an aftermarket pair..

I used a Depo replacement fog light on an Escape. It may be totally different than a TL one, but: The glass & reflector & light output/quality are good, but on mine, there is rubber gasket/seal that you have to very carefully install & make sure it stays exactly in place or it will leak.
Once I got it right, no problems.

I am pretty sure that OEM lense is made of PLASTIC and NOT glass.

07 TL it's made out of glass. I know because a rock hit mine and it cracked. I was not going to spend $100 or more so I went to Home Depot got $5 lexan plexiglass cut it with a dremel tool and used silicone to stick in the housing. Google lexan plexiglass fog light

Same for the TL. I broke the lens (confirmed as glass) in my '08 Type-S and just replaced it yesterday. the OEM housing cost about $250. I made sure to put clear Lamin-X on both while doing the swap.

OEM is glass, DEPO is glass.
