I might be incorrect, but I think you need to go with the assembly, which starts at $97 per assembly. It is a good opportunity to swap the assembly for the yellow ones.

Anyway here are two links for the assembly:

I found an individual one from a salvage yard for 50. It was on ebay, but you might just call around, see if you can find something similar.

Edit: that cost was for the module itself.

....there can be no question on the ability of fog lights to increase visual perception for the driver. Low visibility, hours of darkness et cetera, et al.

However, in reading within these threads, the message I get is: bring money.

I'd like to have them dealer-installed. However, the same reservation about technician incompetence on the 3rd gear TSB generates reluctance for this sailor. I know there are good techs out there (but a drive to Texas is a little too far):biggrin:

best, ez....

check this link out, it may not be the side you need, but you can use the bulb housing regardless:

Hope this helps.

Your best bet is just ordering an eBay foglight kit. The whole thing will run you $50 and you'll have an extra foglight for the other side. The housings from the kit are built exactly like the OEM ones, and they fit into the opening and plug into the harness the same way.

exactly what I did...seems like most of the people that complain about the fog light kit is because of istallation and the bad harness. However since you already have the oem harness in, the ebay foglight themselves are pretty good. I love mine, especially since I got the yellow lens.

I changed two sets of OEM foglights and now prepared a third set "armored" with 3M clear film for installation. Hope it will last longer. The glass assembly without protection sucks.
