First major ding!

I just took the tint off my fog lights and it looks like somewhere along the line something hit my fog light. You can kind of see the cracks in the pictures. My question is how hard is it to 1. find a replacement lense and 2. change it out.I've been thinking about going to the center fog light set up so maybe now I have an excuse.

Wow, I need to take the whole bumper off to replace the lens! Well, thanks for the info, it'll help when I do the center fog light conversion.

Just be glad it is not body or paint damage. That can easily be brought back to "like it never happened" conditioned.

Kinda looks more like expansion cracks from getting too hot rather than from an impact. If your running the stock bulbs and there is not actual inpact pit, I'd take it to a dealership.

+1 That's what I am thinking as well. The tint may have caused the plastic to get too hot, thereby creating the stress cracks. JMO.
