Default Busted Fog light lens

I noticed today that one of my fog lights went out, so I went to pull the bulb out to replace it, but I noticed that the cover lens is broken. It looks like someone shot it with a pellet gun because there is a tiny hole in it and it's cracked. I'm sure it was just a rock though but never-the-less, the bulb is shattered. Where can I find a replacement lens, not bulb, and how hard is it to install?

I took a picture of it so ya'll can understand what I'm talking about, sorry the quality sucks, it was a camera phone. The "bullet hole" is on the right side of the picture.

I don't know if this will help, but for what its worth, the fogs are manufactured by hella lighting. I think I would try the USA hella site first, and ask the question to them. Incidentally, they also do carry the optilux bulbs too.

Hope this helps---Good Luck

I've seen alot of discussion about the fog lenses taking a beating. I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this but I installed the "fog light delete" trim bezels back into my bumper over the fog lights. They have a 3 slot grille that will provide some marginal protection, as well they are radiused so they fit over the lenses with no interferance.
For you sport guys you can make a press to fit grill out of metal mesh or chicken wire like screen.

That sounds like a good idea. Do you have any pictures of it so I can have a better idea of it.

Yea this happened to one of my friends a while back and when i was talking to him he said it was nearly i believe $200 for a new fog light since they are not plastic but glass and he said he went to ebay or some kind of other cheap web site and got a new one for around 100

idk if this will help

Now that's a price I can handle. I tried a search on ebay, nothing came up. What is the actual name of the part?
