foglight replacement
yuk. Took a stone to my left front fog light. Nice hole right through the glass. Seems like a good time to deal with the yellow lenses. I don't want to mess with rebuilding the fixture. So what are my options? Just replace with new? Or is there something else OEM that goes in that space that looks better? Would love to see pics if you have them.
Thanks,
Thanks,

Decided to stay OEM and replace both front fogs with new to get rid of the 14 year old milky look. $220 a piece from Sunset.
Is this something I can do myself? Is it just removing the bumperettes, and removing a couple fasteners?

If you don't have nut corrosion issues its a 15 minute job. If you snap the nuts off which is pretty common, don't fret, it's an easy repair. Simply drill out the old which as part of a backing plate and thread in a stainless steel metal pan head screw to secure the bumperettes. If you want to go full retard and replace the bumperette securing plate (techincal term) you'll hve to get behing the bumper cover to do so. Honestly, going that far is unecessary.

My fog lights don't want to come out
After removing the bumperette and the screw, the side closer to the center of the car does not come out. I'm afraid if I pull any harder, I may break the tab that's holding it in place. This is the case with both the driver and the passenger side fog lights. In which direction am I supposed to pull? Towards the side or the front of the car? What's the trick?

The Ebay Turbo Scoops are what you see pictured in the thread - they fit nicely FYI.
