Foglights+curb=pain in my ***!

Hey guys, I turned to sharp into a friend's driveway and tagged the curb which completley shattered my passenger foglight. I want to take them off, and when i looked i only saw four bolts holding them on. This looks pretty easy, but any advise would help. Also, what are good replacements and do i need a new bracket to hold them in place.

Holla!

depending on which ones you get to repalce it, brackets may or may not be necessary.

the bolts that actually hold the fogs on are the ones pointing straight up, into the bumper. I forget how you have to get to them, but I think you can pull them off with a 10mm wrench. been a few years since I removed mine tho.

You could just buy the lens. The lens is more than just the glass but the whole thing. It has the reflector and everything.

They are around $25 from courtesy nissan and some of the other discount dealers.

Here is a pic of what I am talking about (including the part number):



I went ahead and bought both of them since they are so nice and shiny compared to the old ones I had.

Do the new ones come pitted and cracked like that?
If so, I've got some that are 10x "newer" than that!

I just went and got some slim driving lights to replace mine. My driveway was poorly designed, and one time pulling in a little to fast took out the passenger foglight, and scraped the driver. So I decided a slimmer one was in order.

I bolted my aftermarket lights to the stock plates because my stock fogs were all messed up, but now I have a better set (still would like to get new lenses though) and I have to find a way to hide my aftermarket fogs because they function better than stock, but stockers look better
