OK, one of mine is broke, saw it this morning. Here with tax is the fog light is $200. For that you get another piece of glass to smash. (http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=16180 notwithstanding)I've read the other threads where people have replaced them with aftermarkets that don't quite fit very well. My question is: is there another Pontiac model that is lexan that will replace the Vibe's fog light? I'm thinking of going to a dealership to check it out. The Vibe's is oval, which will make the match difficult, but there has got to be a replacement alternative. Any thoughts or models to check please follow up. For now I'll drive with it broken (but intact) .I'm also going to call a salvage yard but I know the answer. No.

just go and buy yourself anew set of fog lights. preferrably after market. you can get them for under 50 $.i'd be dammed if i buy fog lights for more than that.

Find some Hellas or PIAAs that are roughly the same size. Mod the hole if you have to. Then, throw some Lamix-x film on them to protect 'em.

As i said in another thread that lamin-x didnt have vibe products listed anymore. well i emailed them and when they updated their site/store some cars havent been uploaded again. well the vibe lights should be up again! I havent looked to hard, but what about the cavilier? those are sorta oval, the 03+ cavilier.

I was thinking of doing that, looks to be cheaper. does the film wrap around the light at all, like a lip on the edge? or is it just on the front
