Replace broken fog light lens

If your fog light lens is broken and has to be replaced the dealership can do it for you but check out getting a replacement from ebay or some other source first to compare prices. I decided to do it myself after getting a quote from the dealership. I ordered my replacement fog light from ebay and got a complete fog light kit with wiring, switches, both lights and insert receptacles, etc. for about $56 American including shipping I now have a spare passenger side fog light and other stuff I didn't use as my truck came with fog lights. First of all I removed the driver's side tire and removed the lower two screws that hold the plastic fender liner as well as two other plastic retainer pins that can be removed with a flat screwdriver. It takes a bit of fiddling but the fender liner can be pulled back and hooked on the suspension to give you room to get at the back of the fog light. You have to remove two phillips screws and the fog light will come out. Remove the wiring plug in and plug it into the new light and place the light in the receptacle and replace the screws. Check that it works and put everything back together.

 

Thanks for post. Made replacing one of mine easier!

 

FWIW, I ordered a used OEM foglight off ebay and what showed up was incorrect and had a plastic lens (prob from a Sienna or something). The seller refunded me the $$ and didn't require me to ship the part back.... so I started cutting. Plastic lens fit the Tacoma fog light perfectly. It took a lot of picking glass shards and cleaning adhesive but I got it done. One day Ill break the other glass one and replace it with plastic, or vise versa.

 

Ok. I just bought a pair of replacement fog lights from ebay for $18.88 w free shipping. ( Had glass lenses and new light bulbs) Worked out great with the pics on how to access thru fender well. 2 bolts, 2 screws, 1 plastic push pin, then 2 screws holding light in. Reverse, and done.
