Broken Fog Lights?

Hi all. Both of my fogs lights work, but they are cracked with holes...Am I screwed and just have to buy a new set, or is there a new cover that I can place on them? Looks like the cracked cover says Safety 95. Thanks.

pics would be nice... The covers do come off, so you might be able to go to the dealership... cough, excuse me, I mean STEALership.. and have a pair ordered. Can't say they wont try to rape you for them though

Called Toyota

Just called the stealership, he said I was SOL and would have to buy the entire fog lamp! That seems super crazy especially if the lense can be removed! He quoted me at $418/lamp, but www.toyotapartszone.com has it for a lot cheaper. I'm just going to try to see if I can tear them off of a junker. Thanks for the advice!

Check out Yellow & Blue Lighting; them seem to have the best deal on what you're looking for; although you don't need the brackets, switches and wiring, it's still a decent deal.

Yea, I had the same issue where the rubber liner in one of my lights decayed and water got it exploding the bulb.... quoted at $400 USD. Got it for free by going through a friend who's a parts supplier. He said they get em for like $100 - 150.

if you speak really sweet to the guys and say that you are not paying that price but would do a lot less they may cut you a deal if you are one of those prefer OEM products type of guy in this realm, but I would definitely suggest after market!!!!!

Went through 2 sets of those Hella DE's from Yellow and Blue Lighting. They were garbage. Water got in less than a month after installing them and corroded the bulb connectors. For them to work well you need a custom splashguard to keep water from being sprayed directly at it from the tire. I'd just mount some Hella 500's some where. You can get them for like $70 on Amazon and they put out a lot more light than the OEM projector fogs.

when the first lense cracked on the driver side, I got some 1/4" thick ploy carbonate and made a new flat lense for the light. It worked well, but now the poly is yellowing.
I think when I get sick of them, I will figure out a way to put some 4 inch lights in those slots. Maybe need some PVC tubes to support them though.
