fog light lense

Caught a rock with the lense on the right front fog lamp. Priced those babies from Dodge?

Anybody got a good source?

I'm pretty sure you have to replace the entire assembly (w or w/o bulbs). I don't think they sell just the glass. It's cheaper to buy a set of used lights from the classifies or CL/ebay etc.

I sold a set for $40 a year or so ago. Not certain the going rate on these things today though.

Had the same issue, but I lost both. Went to Rock Auto and got the non hella brand... I was surprised as they seemed brighter. I held off installing them until I could get some type of cover, but gave in... now I lost another one.

I think I will put the plastic film coating on this next time around. The shape just funnels rocks to the glass lenses and that is it, game over.

I picked up a set and the switch at a junkyard and installed in my non foglight equipped truck. I used the plastic louvered housing that covers the holes in the non foglight trucks. I have found that this louvered cover offers better protection for the lenses. As a bonus I like the look of the louvers over the lense. Just cut away some of the plastic on the inside of the louvered cones so you have some clearance from the heat. Just another possible solution.
