Left fog light housing cracked/broken
Hey guys, yesterday i noticed that my housing for the fog light is cracked pretty bad.
I was wondering if there's any way to change it myself or is that something I would have to take in and have a professional do...

this happened to me and i just used these directions to replace the cracked lens.

the passenger side is easy to replace, the driver side is a little bit more work since the windshield washer fluid container is a bit in the way.

Becareful about small pieces of broken glass (yes, stating the obvious) falling on to the ground when you take out the old lense. I did this on my dads car and didnt see a shard fall and then leaned down under the car and put it right into my hand. Then stupid me, I pull it out with my other hand and goes in an breaks in my skin. That was fun, I ended up taking a knife and start cutting away at my hand to dig deep enough to get it out. It was quite awesome!
