When in Ocean City on Saturday, Impalaslayer pulled away from a light rather aggressively:burnout: and I happened to be behind him. I heard some debris hit the front of my car, but never gave it a second thought. I was walking to my car this morning while at work, I noticed the passenger side fog light lens is completely shattered...only small shards of glass remain...Seems like the Eaton beat up more than just F-bodies while in O.C.:lol:....Thanks Dave...:lol: Anyone know where to find a replacement lens?

You have to buy the whole assembly. I had that happen once from a rock. I had to get the entire assembly from Ford. I don't know if the price droped but it was $88.40 without tax Part number 3w3z-15200-ab

It lists for $133.15. Maybe Ray "The Dealer" can help you here.

My foglight just fell out of the holder. Heard something dragging on the ground. The harness connector stayed connected prevented losing it. Reattached it and secured the harness to the fender support brace with nylon ties.

If one of mine ever broke I would just buy some PIAA fog lights or some other brand that was close to the same size and shape and replace them then do my HID conversion while the before putting the new units in.

Or just pick up something like this

I looked at replacing mine with aftermarket foglights but you'd run into massive mounting issues.

Just replace one on my Lightning... I looked around because the prices varied greatly. Picked one up for $59.00 and the quality and service was excellent. Prices on the net ranged from 59-140. The 00 Lightning turned out to be the same as a 96 Ranger and some Fox body Mustangs.

I don't know if there are alternate applications for the MM. Good luck with your search.

You shouldn't have mentioned the "sexual favors" as currency...
