Anyone know of a good place to get a new fog light assembly? I had a rock go dead center through the middle of mine. Shattered the glass, and the bulb. Dealership told me about 270 or so I believe for the housing = a bit ridiculous. Anyone have any other ideas?

 

they told me the same thing. Unless you can pick and pull one, the dealer or mitsubishiparts.com is gonna be your only real options.

I plan to 3m the lens on my new one to avoid this in the future.

 

I have a set for sale.

 

whatever mike's selling his for, i'll beat it by 10%. lol, just messin with ya mike.

but i really am selling mine too if anybody else is interested...

 

I am interested, no need for set though, I would just need the passenger side, so that may change your mind. What are you asking for it?

 

I'm open on price.

 

Lol it's all good bro.

 

Working on making some replacements for my broken lenses. Main problem is finding a plexi or poly that isnt too thick, and can take the heat

 

lexan? lol, bulletproof fog lights ftw

still have one available, btw, in case anyone other than nicker is looking. nothing against you, but mike's got you on this one, don't wanna steal his thunder. pm me if interested

 

How much are you looking to get for it? I can't really hack much right now, seeing as how I just found out today I am due for emergency root canal surgery in the morning. HA! Talk about NOT sweet. For real though, I'm not even sure what a fair price on this would be, but the dealership is about $270, so just let me know. I will decide if I need it or if I can live without fogs for a while longer.

 

I have a set for sale 150 for both with piaa blubs.

 

Polycarbonate plastic might be a good choice.

I have experience using Lexan for fog light lenses. To give you exact numbers, I did some searching. Lexan can handle 300F and a 264psi impact. Many headlight assemblies are made from this. Foglight assemblies are often made from glass because temperature in a fog light is an issue, as the bulb is so close to the lens. If you go Lexan, I'd recommend you use a LED bulb as the halogen is too hot, and will deform and bubble the lens.

Or, you can cheat like I did back in my Honda days, and drill a small hole in the fog assembly in a spot where nothing will get into the assembly.

My fog light lenses had cracked on both sides, so I replaced them with Lexan. They were warped and began to bubble not even 2 weeks after they were installed. So I cut new lenses from the sheet I had left over from the first set, but needed to find a way to keep the new lenses from warping/bubbling. I figured the best way to get past the problem was to get rid of the heat. I drilled a 3/8" hole on the top of the back part of the fog assembly and put a piece of plastic over the hole that would keep water/salt/dirt out but let the heat escape.

Not the best method to follow, but it worked for 2 years until I sold the car. I would have gone with LED bulbs, but I had already spent lots of cash on the PIAA bulbs I had installed. I'd expect that the lights are still going strong.
