Default Fog light replacement

Hey guys,

Can somebody recommend a reputable online ebay merchant or their own website that sells the RH fog light for a 2000 ES. I ordered one from NSAUTORECYLERS on 4-28-09 and I did not received the item in the timely manner. When the box did arrive on 5-22-09 to my local post office it has been 18 business days and I have already filed a complaint through paypal. Thankfully I got refunded by paypal, but i had to call them to initiate the refund. So the item is going back to the seller. But i still need a fog light replacement, so any good merchant out there you guys can recommend.

I don't know how the water get inside the fog light housing.....

Since all the lighting and stuff is out of there, did you try using alcohol and swishing it in then pouring it out? I had to use that for my old reflector fogs you see in my sig. I've moved to projector ones now though...

O.k. so by pouring alcohol in the housing will clean the rusty build-up in the lens reflector. What i don't get is how did the water get in the housing in the first place, cuz i don't see no leak. I do see 2 little hole that is covered with some kind of mesh type material and a rubber piece on top of it.

Oh, I meant that it would help clean up the water in there so you don't get water spots. Water might have gotten in due to old seals. Happened on my RX due to bad seals so it could be that case as well...

Those are vent holes in the back. Someone probably ran through a puddle, or there was some condensation that passed through, and probably not due to bad seals.
