Default Yellow Foglights

Now I know that most people don't enjoy the yellow foglights but I'd like to keep mine. So here's the problem, my brand new foglight lamp blew out the other day. But it didn't just die it actually blew up and took the yellow glass with it. So I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get the metal surround with the yellow glass in it. The dealer said they didn't have the part, or at least they don't show it in their systems. Maybe someone who doesn't want the yellow in their foglight would light to trade parts. I've got a '93 LS-400. Thanks everyone.

most likely you will find it at a junkyard. Did u find the replacement bulb? To get a bulb to fit the orginal connections is impossable. Let me know if u have trouble hooking it up.

I actually still have a bulb for it. The first time I had a bulb blow I replaced both at the same time, so I still have one good one. I was rather upset with Lexus though for charging me $25 for a bulb that blew up only 3 months after I purchased it. Rather convenient for them I think that they only warrant parts for 30 days. Seems like a lot of bull to me. If I had bought this bulb straight from the manufacturer it would have been warranted for at least a year with a few thousand hours of life. Whatever. Thanks for the input.

Silver,

Where'd you get the foglight bulbs for 2.99? I couldn't find anyone that stocked them but Napa and they wanted more than the dealer.
