Default Best/cheapest place to buy new foglight housing

Looking to get a new foglight housing. The dealership wanted $185 for a recycled housing for the driver side only. Instead we opted them to take $135 off our deductable, and leaving the housing as it is. Is there anywhere we can get a brand new OEM housing for cheaper? I looked on amazon, but it's hard to distinguish whether it is aftermarket or oem, and do the aftermarket ones on amazon fit fine?

Thanks for all of the fast replies! Went to see the car today was like a graveyard of cars. We looked at the foglight then Jack from Longo realized that one of the tabs on the foglight was broken so it needs to be replaced and covered by Allstate so this is taken care of. Now just need to decide on a lip..

JDM fog light I wish LOL
I'm happy with the HIDXtra 8000k fogs I have, rather save money for tuition right now >_< haha and choosing a new front lip!

Mods can close this thread, but people can use it if they find helpful in locating fog housings!
