I noticed yesterday that my drive side fog light lense is missing ?? - nothin broken, just the whole plastic lense is gone?? Anyone else ever have this problem. I assume now I'll have to have the whole light fixture replaced??


Thanks

Wow, that's weird; I thought the lens and reflector were all one housing, bonded together.

My guess would be that you're going to need to buy the entire assembly. I somehow doubt GM sells just the lens.

Ok - now the other one is gone? Am I the only one that has had this happen? Both fronts on the fog lights are now missing - I'm pretty sure I won't replace these with stock items!

I priced just the lens at the stealer and they wanted $96.00 a pop. I broke my driver side running over a BFR (BIG ******ING ROCK). I'm probably just going to buy the entire set up from dmaxallitech's store for $115.00. Then I will have a spare in case another BFR jumps out of the ground.

Lost both of mine on my 99. I think from running in deep snow. They are junk.

I knew it!!! mine and my brothers both have the same problem...

I tried gmpartsdirect.com with an inquiry but they said they needed the vin #'s first. I lost interest after that... anyone have a part # for just the lens or the whole housing, please post!

Mines an 01 GMC (factory fogs) my brothers(though they look the same) is a 99 chevy EC Z71

CAll Rich @ NFT takeoffs 817-589-8874 or 817-285-6357 he sells Genuine GM OEM Lights...most all on E-Bay are not OEM but are after market lights

Got mine for $50 for the pair shipped (these are taken off of new trucks to put air dams/ground effects on etc...)

Good Luck

Ok - so I'm not the only one - that's good. I was going to go with the replacements, but figured sooner (probably much sooner) the same thing would happen again and I'd be more than twice as mad as the first time!!CensoredThe Dealer in Canada wants $95 per light housing - fat chance.

Has anyone bought a different brand that fits in the original space? How do the lenses re-attach, with just some sort of silicon gasket?

Thanks for the ebay info, might go that way if nothing better turns up. For now I have the expensive Duct Tape look going -:t

Did you not read my post?

There is no gluing of the lens... it is the both housings (left and right)

$50 for the complete set of lights, not just the lenses... and they are OEM factory "take offs" (meaning a conversion company took them off when installing ground effects/airdams) not aftermarket made ones.

I put mine on Monday and they are just like new...

Hope this helps...again.



BTW...No one makes anything to fit where the stockers go

My lenses are gone too. Have been for a while but been too cheap to check into replacing them. I hardly ever use them. They jsut look like crap now.

Gary, you can get the whole pair housings and all (not just the lenses)like brand new for $50. I believe he had the whole kit switch and all on ebay for $98...

Pepperidge - nothin that you don't see in the string here.

I found out that the stock fog lamps are crap as the lense can fall off and that you're stuck replacing the whole housing. (Come on, if the things can fall off then sell them such that they can be replaced at a cost less than replacing the entire Fog Light system!!!) That to replace somethng that failed so easily with the same thing would leave me with little to say to people who say "Foul me once, shame on you, fool me twice...) -- regardless of the price; that nobody seems to make a fog light of any value that would retrofit to what's already there; and that Duct Tape makes for an OK lense cover but a useless lense!

Mine went three years before it fell off. Heck, I don't know if a rock didn't fly up and knock it off...I just don't

On the new ones I have, I'm tempted to run a bead of super glue around the seal of the lens, but am worried if the fumes might eat some of the shiny new chrome off the inside. If the old light that was not missing a lense wouldn't have been so bad off (chrome wise I would have experimented with that one to see if the glue would harm that one.

I'm with you on the no aftermaket "upgrades" (piaa KC hella) available to fit the factory slot. but this is all we have to work with...

I don't think we should have to... but $50 every three years ain't so bad IMO

Good luck!

gm 's warranty sucks. mine cracked and then spidered out bad. called gm and they flat out refused to replace it claiming a stone hit it. bull sh*t !! after replacing the right fog light the left did the same thing . my truck had only 2k at the time of the problem. it now has 17k it's a '03 gmc 2500 hd 6.6 i might have to rethink my next truck like a dodge. i would really hate to have to do that though
