Default Cracked fog lense on CT200

A rock hit one of the lenses and cracked it pretty bad, left a hole, etc. How difficult is it to replace? I'm no expert, but I do know a little about cars and put aftermarket fog lights on my RSX back in the day.

Does it have to be OEM? I noticed it is the same fog light as some Toyota models and is fairly common. I was also happy to see that they don't seem too expensive...$125 for OEM, $80 for non-OEM, but both new.

Thoughts?

It looks like I can access it through the wheelwell...will it open up enough? It looks like it is held on by 4 screws. I think I just take the 4 screws off, disconnect the bulb, replace the housing, put the bulb back, and put the 4 screws in place.

Thoughts?

I replaced my fogs with Lexus OEM LED fog light housing, They actually are on sale at sewellparts at $115 each. http://lexus.sewellparts.com/accesso...2013/6548.html

Yes 4 screws, although if I remember correctly, two out of them were actually screwed in on one side, and the other side basically was just supposed to be fitting under a slot before you screwed them in. I maybe mistaken though as it was part of my project to swap my entire bumper for a 2014 f-sport bumper. Either way, not difficult at all.

I just remembered, I have a pair of fog lamps from my 2013 CT with H11 lamps that I won't use again. I think it still has the 3M wrap on the lens that I got as part of my clear bra package, plus I also have two pairs of Optilux Hella bulbs

. The lens were swapped at 10,000 kms, and I didn't notice any scratches or pits on them. Will you be interested?
