hit deer please help...

Okay, so on my way to work I hit a deer . The front passenger's fog light is completely broken. Does anyone know any good sites where I can buy a great quality fog light assembly for a cheap price? I've never bought anything online and I'm a little bit concern about hackers. I got a quote from Nissan saying that to buy a new passenger's foglight is $188.00, I think that's a ripoff.

You hit a deer and all you need is a foglight. You are lucky!

Why not upgrade to a nice set of Piaa's? They are still less than an OEM and look sharp.

no ****. I figured you needed a new front clip or something. Glad it was really minor.

You are right on that one.

He must have just tapped it. Most of the time when you hit a deer, you need a hood, fenders, headlights and sometimes a new windsheild.

If you even come close to spending $188 for a crappy OEM headlight, I hope you at least consider buying some kind of upgrade, like PIAAs.

yeah I actually clipped the deer, but looks like it died because I saw it laying on the side of the road on my way home from work. The only other damage I see on the exterior is near the passenger's side wheel well where the bumper connects, is a little split. BTW will 93 se oem fog lights fit a 91 se?

How do you take off the fog lights for a 91 se? Isn't there a covering near the wheel well you have to remove under the car?

no. Just look strait up and you will see 2 10mm (also phillips) bolts. Undo those and the whole assembly comes down.

when i broke the fog light, the bolt on the left side of passengers fog light is off because of the impact when i hit the deer, but the bolt on the right side (looking from the front of the car) is still on there. I tried WD-40 and let it soak for a couple minutes, but the bolt is still rusted on there, how else do I try to remove the bolt?
