Fog Light Lens Replacements?
I did a search. Several searches actually.
I've got my C6 front end apart for several repairs, including headlamp lens replacement (incoming order RLSebring), and my fog lamps are great except that the lenses are badly pitted.
Problem is, I cannot find where anyone sells a replacement lens, as is done for the headlamp lens replacements. The method of lens attachment to the fog lamp housing appears similar to the headlamp arrangement.
Anybody out there in C6 land know where to find a new fog lamp replacement OEM lens for sale?

I have not heard of replacement lenses, just the whole unit.
Mine are pitted also. I never use them so I covered them witb smoked acrylic. Matches my car.

There is no replacement lens. You have to buy the whole assembly. I dont know how much they cost but it can't be that much.

I have done the Ebay ones. They are exactly like OEM with the exception of the manufacturing country.
At 110.00, I thought it was reasonable.
Replacing the lense would be difficult and I doubt you would keep it water tight.
I have an OEM which fills up with water. It was annoying.

With the price of aftermarket being about 50.00 or so each it wasn't feasible (IMHO) to try and get a replacement lens.

DO NOT BUY REPLACEMENT FOG LIGHTS! I bought a set online for I think $115 because I had water in one of my oem's. They do look identical to the oem's until you turn them on. Evidently they use a different reflector because they project a light shade of blue. I used them about three months and took them out and bought oem's for I think $87 bucks each. You want to buy my replacements, they look brand new and be had for the cheap. PM me if you want to talk. BTW I was using them with HID's

HID's are really good for projector type lens and just don't perform well otherwise, unless made for a reflective applications.
I see so many people using HID's in headlights that are obviously not made for them. They just scatter the light all over the place and tend to blind oncoming drivers, quite annoying.

FWIW, I am getting ready to order some headlight lenses from you (finally), as I've got the entire front end of my C6 in a million pieces.

With the OEM halogen bulbs it would look exactly as it should.
