Fit Sport fog light cracking

A rock flew up and put a hole in my fog light and I just notice it today. I konw for an RSX they have pre cut lexan pieces that will replace the preexisting lens cover. I was seeing if any fellow GE owners know where I can go to buy the lens cover to fix the bullet size hole in my fog light.
Thank you

I haven't read any post about just replacing the lens cover. I think they just replace the whole unit.

Anyways, you may wanna slap on some light protection film once you got it repaired (or even use it to cover the hole?) I bought a pre-cut kit from headlightarmor.com. I should've just used bulk film to save some $$$. So far, so good.

^What he said. I slapped some film over my shattered fog light and now I don't have to worry about water getting inside, etc.... and it will probably last forever! Save yourself $100 and don't replace the housing.

You can't replace just the glass. If you want to replace it, you need to buy the whole housing. I already had one shatter, and I replaced the housing then put protective film from Headlight Armor on the glass. It's held up so far.

I put protective film on mine. I bought 6" film sheets. I cut a stencil and cut it to match shape of the lens. I took a 1000 mile road trip a couple months back...so far so good.

We put yellow films on the fogs. It'll be a nice contrast when the snow starts flying.

Also, J said that a stick was lodged in between the lens and the plastic surround. Glad we put the films on right away!

I used glass sealant to seal the hole. And this is how I protect my fog lens after the crack.

Went to Lowe and picked up lexan glass. pulled my fogs and got a dremel and cut out new lens. Got some silicon to glue the lens to the fog light. First fog light i kind of messed up on. Second one not to to bad. I will post pictures up.

Only problem is the glass isnt curved like how the stock lens cover is.
