Default fog lamp exploded

It's been a rainy/foggy week here so I turned on my fog lamps for the ride home. The passenger side lamp actually exploded in the parking lot. Anyone know who has good deals on a full replacement assembly?

MSRP on the fogs is $122.00 each.
left part # 55077474AC
right part # 55077475AC

If you wanna spend alittle more but save money, order the Mopar fog light install kit(part # 82209047), Its onlyabout $160.00 This is a kit that is used if your truck didn't come with factory fogs. It has left and right fog lights, left and right light bezels, the crossover wiring and a new headlight switch. Thats over $425.00 worth of parts and gives you extra parts that you may need in the future, or parts that you could sell to a buddy.

Ebay or junk yard, they will have them laying around.

Off topic but I was in my kitchen, heard a pop last week. Went into the dinning room and one of the lights on my ceiling fan blew up, glad no one was sitting at the table.

Guess they did not make bulbs like they use to.
