I was just wondering if anyone knew whether you could replace just the lens on the fog lights of an 03 some cool kid threw a rock at it and the whole think is cracked and i dont really feel like spending $180 to replace the whole light.

 

i just ordered a new housing, lens for under $100 there is a how to I cant remember who that shows how to protect the lens

 

Where did you get it? I ended up buying a pair of fog lights. Of course, now I have a spare.

paid $85 shipped still have to install trying to decide if I should get another set of PIAA super plasmas or not.....

 

are 2k1 fog light housing different from 2k3? cuz they are priced alot differently?

 

yes they are. if you look on courtesyparts.com there are two different kits for the 5th gen and 5.5 gen fogs

 

Both of my fog lenses are cracked, but my philosophy is, they're gonna get cracked again, so don't waste the money on getting some new ones that will look the same after a month. Use the money to get a STS from HP Auto, because I got mine today and it's AWESOME.

 

The cracking of the 5.5 gen foglamps is a pretty well-known issue. Luckily I have not ran into it personally, but if I had to find a replacement, I'd check some salvage yards before I spent that much on a brand new one.

skierxx5556 - If you can prove that the kid broke it, why not get him or his parents to pay for it?

 

i just checked mine and 1 is cracked right down the center... you might want to check a junkyard, much cheaper...

 

For those who want to protect their foglights, I bought a 3M based protection film from 2002 Maxima SE for about $23 including shipping. I plan on placing them on after I get new fogs. Hope this helps.

 

how often have people been experiencing this problem? I would just leave the cracked one on the but it just looks so bad!!!

 

Mine craced a while back. I wonder if putting in Piaa Superplasmas had anything to do with it.

 

one of mine are cracked too, gotta love nissan oem parts. ray u wanna sell your extra fog light?

 

where can the 3M film be purchased from? I saw another org member with some but I cant remember where he said he purchased it from. I really only need a couple small sheets to protect my fog lenses. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I bought the partstrain fog. No problems with fit or function yet. Went in like the stocker.

 

I hoped it would, but apparently it doesn't. I've had mine protected since purchase with invinca-shield 3M film and finally noticed a crack last week. The real question is whether the hot bulbs I'm running (PIAA SP H3's) are the culprit. In cold weather, the glass gets hot enough that I can see steam coming off the fogs...

Nonetheless, with the 3M film, no water is getting into the lens and the crack is barely visible so I'm not touching it.
