So today, I pulled into my driveway and got out of my car to notice that the front left fog light glass was just fallen out, exposing the bulb. I assume it was cracked or something on the highway and the bumps from driving around made it completely fall out. I noticed the other one being similar in that sense that a crack is developing.

My question though is twofold; Where can I buy the glass from? And, is it easy to install it as a DIY?

Are there instructions anywhere that show you how to install that glass and a vendor that sells different kinds perhaps? Eg, black/orange etc? I might think about changing the bulbs to LED's as well now that I am out, what sort of LED bulbs would fit and not give error codes and work in that spot?

Links and such will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Correct me if i'm wrong since i've never had to replace to glass, but I think you would have to replace the entire fog lamp assembly that will run around $150.

Oh really? I have no idea which is why I am hoping that someone who's had to do this will chime in.

If I have to replace, I was thinking I might as well replace it with some nicer aftermarket one's. Or even have the bulbs be LED instead.

I don't know about the fogs, but talk to Mike (AZNoptics) about the LEDs

If you have the sport pkg (i.e. round foglights) this is what you need for driver's side (front left from which direction???)http://www.ebay.com/itm/USA-08-10-ME...ht_5574wt_1163

This is the passenger side: http://www.ebay.com/itm/08-10-MERCED...ht_5574wt_1163

Or you can ask for a parts quote at the stealership. Last I checked they run about $130 a pop, without labor of course... Good luck.

Thanks for the links.

How hard/easy is it to install these yourself? Does the bumper need to be removed or something or are they easily installable as a DIY at home?

Seems like this would work as well....I could get a pair for under $100.

There are two types fog lights, the ovals and the round. Round is for the Sport models.

Mine are round so I guess it's the sport model.

I saw a whole bunch like JDM yellow, black and stuff on ebay so might grab some from there.

However, still waiting if someone can chime in with instructions on how to install them? Any DIY's done for this? Thanks!

It is either three or four torx, don't remember did it on my '08. accessed from below. Not hard just tight space wise.
