Fog lamp lens missing

(Sorry...really didn't know which forum to place this.) I'm slightly depressed...discovered this morning that one of my lens covers on the factory fog light (not the grill mounted, bigger ones) is missing. When lookiing in at the light, there is a black 'plug' or something hooked onto the actual lamp (I guess). Am I just missing the lens? Can it be easily replaced? How? THANKS

Not sure if just the lense can be replaced or not. I have a similar problem, my front parking light lense cover is cracked to hell. A tree feel on my car causing the damage... I'll let the body shop resolve my issue though.

I'd call the dealer to find out if the lense can be purchased or if it's a whole assembly (light & Lense).

The parking light is a single assembly. Remove the front bumper and it comes off with 2 Phillips head screws. Easy as can be.

fog lamps

wow! You're right on that one. Actually, the two clips that hold it were broken off, the lens cover was not missing. The entire unit was just lying in the bottom of its 'area.' I J&B welded the broken pieces tonight and will be able to reinstall tomorrow. Whew!!!! Thanks
