Yep, I think it's this one. I paid $180 for the stupid fog light at the dealer. I should've done it online.

I think that's exactly what I got. Let me check my email and I'll confirm. You could also get a p/n from your dealer and cross reference it.

Update: Yup, that's the one. It's too bad we can't just replace the lens. I was told due to road debris, it's a common thing.

Cool, looks like I'll order it. you guys got a diy? A search I did, the guy just moved the oil cooler to the side to access it. I don't want to go under the car and pull the whole plastic guard to access it.

I had it done while a shop was clear coating my CF front lip so they had to remove the whole bumper anyway. Otherwise, I was going to have it done when I was upgrading the fog lights to HIDs.

I've changed fog light bulbs by peeling the fender liner back (partially) and pulling down the lower underbody panel (partially). I can state it was a royal PITA and took me over an hour to get the job done. Based on what I remember, to replace a fog light housing would require the removal of the bumper cover or the complete removal of the underbody splash guard.

I guess I'll wait till the winter time to do it, it's too damn hot right now to do anything in the garage.

Got prices from 2 different dealers today for part only (I think)---$323 and $303, whoa..... Will order on-line. Didn't think to ask about installation. I busted mine on the track last weekend with flying gravel. This is also bad for CF lips as well.

Upgrade your fogs to HIDs and the shop will do it for free
