Fog Lamp

Post by pmarte »

I just noticed while washing my 03 2-tone, that I have a cracked fog light lens. Anyone ever had to replace one?

from my observations it appears to be a more common problem then one would expect it to be...

Is it possible to buy just one. I noticed my Drivers side one Cracked yesterday.... made me mad. I say one set on E-bay for $140 US, and I know the Dealer wants WAY more. I am getting the protectors once I get it fixed..... what a bad time though, right after the Wedding and house.... Now I have to fork out the $200 for those? Oh well.... so goes life.

better order them before Jan 1st. GM has advised us that body parts are going up a weighted average of 4% that day.

Leave it to GM, not like they aren't already over charging. I think I am going to either get Aftermarket, or just go up to a Junkyard or something.I am having troubles finding a good aftermarket lamp that will work with the stock wireing and such

It wasn't terribly tough to change, but getting the old one out of the "clips" that hold it in place was tougher than I thought it would be. I'd hate to try it without the car being elevated - had mine on ramps. I already had the protectors in hand before I installed the new light - didn't want to take a chance of cracking another one.
