Fog/driving light replacement??

Anyone replaced the lenses in the lower front lights? Mine work, but both lenses are broken. The factory ones seem very expensive. Any other options just to replace the lens?

I think the factory ones are expensive from Ford. You can get new ones from Rock Auto for as low as about $25 each.

Expert tip for the OP. Go ahead and use Amazon or Rockauto to buy replacements, the OE one's hold up just as poorly as the aftermarkets do but at a much higher cost. Having had a few expeditions they all have major light issues as far as the fog light plastic breaking.

Another tip. If you do replace the fog lights, no matter what your source, before you install the new ones, look up headlight/fog light vinyl protective film. Look for something thicker than 10 mil. and apply them to the fog lamp lenses before you install the new lamps. It will protect the lenses to a good extent.

The placement of our fog lamps recessed deep within the bumper cover I believe has a funneling affect directing more small pebbles and stones at the lenses rather than allowing them a glancing blow if the lenses were flush with the front of the bumper. The thin lenses don't help either.

However, a good vinyl protective overlay will soften the impact of future "projectiles"

OEM's are crap. They always crack. It's from heat and or stones. Had 07 and 08. Both have cracks.
