I hate trucks.... I really do.

So a truck with stupidly large wheels were throwing rocks, oddly alot at that too. Thought, I was safe from a good distance away until I heard a loud break like glass shattering. I thought it was my windshield and so I vigorously looked. Couldn't find the source until now... So do i replace it entirely? Or is there a cheaper way to repair it?

Eh could have been worse. Take this opportunity to upgrade to the LED ones (I forget who makes them)

I would definitely just go with an upgrade!


Here's the link to "TheRetrofitSource" ones:

Or you can take a look at what I worked with from iJDMToy, since they're a little cheaper. If you can handle some custom fabricating/cutting on your own!

I personally would recommend "TheRetrofitSource" ones, as I have heard great things about them (plus I'm sure the fit is a lot better than iJDMToy's) - just haven't had any first-hand experience with the fog lights... only their halos from Morimoto; which are superb!

I have the first version of the retrofit source (TRFS) ones. I LOVE mine and to this day still work perfectly.



The newer versions are DEFINITELY worth the extra cash and look great. I would recommend TRFS XB LED upgrades.

As said, you replace both sides with LED fogs. It's normal to get mad at moments like this, victim of circumstance and all that. But after you accept things, you come to realize it's an opportunity for upgrade.

LED fogs are a really nice upgrade. Not over-the-top awesome, but certainly better than stock.

Here's my Morimoto LED fog, wrapped in amber tint:

Agreed to all y'alls comments. I sincerely appreciate it. Those who habe posts links to your led good, I'll definitely lol into it and those who haven't yet mind posting it, if it's different from retrofit. I will look into all options.

I have this part saved as a bookmark on my computer, ive had 4 of these things broken over the course of ownership. Maybe next time ill be smart enough to have them wrapped in 3m or something. Sadly this time the rock took out one of my morimoto fogs
