Fog Light lenses- Where to buy?

I'm missing one fog light lens. Nobody carries them so they told me to order one from GM (for $14.95). Like hell im spending $15 on a 3x2 inch square piece of plastic. Does anyone know where I can get one for cheap? Obviously the junk yard, but screw that.

I think 99 is for the entire assembly....the housing, everything. Jack just wants the lens.

I do not believe that GM sells ANY individual parts for the fog lights, just complete assemblies. Make sure you're getting what you think you are.

I'm with Jim, I couldn't get just the lens from GM, all they sell is the whole assy.
If you do get lucky & find the lenses somewhere let us all know, lots of us could use them.

I have one lens from my foglights, if you really need it. But I don't know what side you need. One of mine cracked and I decided to just go with aftermarket fog lamps.

Hey scott's85T/A, you're saying Advance has just the lens, or aftermarket foglites that will fit?
If they've got a replacement lens like the precut mirrors Pep Boys carries I gotta have about 4!!

I bought Blazer fog lights for my GTA and the lens is a direct replacement. In my case, I used the whole light because my stock ones were shot, but I had to make a new mount. But, $17 a pair from Wal Mart sure beat $100 each from GM!

But, IROC lenses are a whole different story.

i just went and bought the factory ones. i also work at the dealer so i got them at 10% over cost which was 64.95 and 68.95 i still dont know why the charge different prices for the same piece but different side of car.
oh well.

i just said for the look its worth the money and since i already put 5000 into paint and stuff so why not. its just money and you cant take it with you when you are gone!

Yes the advance auto (here anyway)has just the lens..It may not be made specificly for the firebirds but its the same size as the ones on firebirds & T/As.If you'r worried more about price than originality they are alot cheaper,ans look the same.

Why don't you just make one? Just cut a piece of glass or clear plastic to the right size, it would save you so you wouldn't have to pay a whole 15 bucks.
