07 Vibe fog light assembly

Just had my wife's 07's front end repainted due to a lesson not learned with love bugs. Her fog light lense on both sides are cracked. Do I have to buy a whole new light assembly or can the fog light covers be bought only?

This is the longest the car has been driven continuously for in a while. Just wondering if it's possible the drain tube has a blockage. Can anyone give me a fix for...

What is valve lash and how is it checked? I wish I would have checked my post before I told them yes. Guess I just ate $129. Got an alignment done as well today.

Fuel injector flush at Toyota dealership

Just brought my wife's 07 vibe with 130,000 miles for a coolant exchange. Dealership recommended a fuel injector flush, is it worth it? The car doesn't get the fuel mileage it use to and I was wondering if it would help restore the MPG. I replaced the plugs and PCV valve at 100,000.
