Default broken fog lamp!

lucky day! driving home from work on a country road...large tree limb breaks loose from far above and comes crashing down just 10 yards in front of me...WHAM! missed coming right through my sunroof - exploded on the asphalt instead. i was able to avoid most of the debris, however my right-passenger side fog light was hit and the retaining tabs must have broken from the impact. the housing is loose inside the bumper cover.

i have found the factory repalcement on line. p/n 81211-53290 for the passenger side. best price is $168 for a Lexus factory part.

i've also found aftermarket replacements for just $70. has anyone had any issues with aftermarket versions?

or both for $127: https://www.autolightsbulbs.com/2006.../K1112255.aspx

any other ideas? does anyone have factory fog lights for sale?

Thanks!

I bought a set of aftermarket fogs (lenses only) with yellow lenses and the quality of the lense was good but the plastic you can tell is junk.. could have been just the brand I bought but they were $100 for the pair so not much cheaper then what you have there. In saying that the plastic was junk it doesn't really matter as long as the light inside the housing works and it stays attached to your bumper.. so not really a big deal imo

Got mine replaced with ebay fogs they look good and they are affordable (bought a pair so I replaced both). Many choices....I think I paid under $70 for the pair. I grabbed a pair of the latest 6k LED tech bulbs and added them as a compliment. Car looks great and fitment was perfect!
