Aftermarket source for '09/'10 Fit Sport fog light assys?
Just checking to see if anyone has an update for pricing and availability of AFTER-MARKET factory fog light assemblies for the '09 and '10 Fit Sport.
When I bought my '09 Sport MT back in October of '08 the car didn't even make it to the end of that month before a rock punched a hole in my LH fog light lens. True to Honda's policy, the part is not designed in such a way that you can simply replace the lens--- you have to buy a whole new assembly. And here in Canada that assembly from Honda is priced at $345.12 per side.
No f%#@king way that is going to happen.
I simply put three layers of protective film over the broken lens (and one layer over the good one to protect it) and have been driving it that way until if and when a reasonably-priced replacement becomes available.
At the time of the incident I was told by the likes of Napa and others that they had available the assemblies for the '07 and '08 models but not for the '09. The '07/ '08 units were available at Napa for under $150 each.
17 months have passed since I first checked for a replacement. Has anyone recently been able to locate a supplier of these lens assemblies other than Honda?

Cracked my L/S light earlier this month and bought a TYC aftermarket replacement on Ebay for a little over $110 + shipping. Quality was almost OE, and even comes with an OE Osram Sylvania bulb. Fitment was a little meh, but only because I used the OE trim housing and not the trim housing that came with it. Even the cover looks 100% the same as OE.

I had to buy a new passenger side one, got mine thru E-bay (drmotorparts) It was a Taiwanese copy, but it cost me $99 (us) + shipping was free.... works just great!
And I bought some protective laminate from Lamin-x to try to keep that from happening again!

Excellent, so they ARE out there. Which means Napa can't be far behind. Thanks for the info. Up here in Canada we can expect to pay about 20% more than what you'd pay in the states--- even though our dollar has been within 10% of par for over three years now. Still, $150 per unit beats Honda's $345.12 per side blackmail of a price any day of the week. Thanks again.
