fog light cracked..

My wife was driving the Max and heard a rock hit it real loud...she checked around the Hood and roof etc but didn't see anything..well I washed the car yesterday and found the damage from the rock......my driver side fog light is smashed..not just a chip or crack..I'm surprised it hasn't broken out completely..


Does anyone knowbof a place to get a replacement fog light pretty cheap? Everywhere I've looked online is asking $150-$200 for one. I've seen some on eBay cheaper but I would prefer a OEM part...ill use eBay as last option.

Sorry for the bad luck man... we have a small fog light housing too

Honestly I would stick with an OEM housing. Courtesy Parts has the housing assy for $140 (http://www.mynissanpartstore.com/par...layCatalogid=0)

If it is just a crack, put a piece of 3M clear masking tape/packaging tape over it and call it a day, I have done it several times to friends cars, it's the inexpensive way to clear bra your fogs

If the glass is shatterred.....it will fall out sooon.

Same thing happened to me last March. I looked around quite a bit for a OEM replacement and couldnt find one under $150. Dealership wanted over $200.

I actually had the same thing happen to me. Driverside. You can buy just the housing and keep the bulb if it's still ok.
