Angry Cracked foglight

My damn right foglight took a rock today and its cracked up--it still works though--the dealer wants $375 installed. This runs me hot. Anybody have any hookups on this one? Suggestions?

$375 replacement is ok, they have to order a pair, right?... how about do it yourself? save $80

$375. Wow...
Time to source out some matching HID fogs (rather then the halogen) and install yourself!

While this is still a lot of money, go through one of the forum vendors, like Rosenthal Mazda- much cheaper ($252 for a pair):

Or check Mazmart and see if they have any from a totalled RX8.

Post a wtb on the parts for sale forum below. Someone might have a spare one lying around. Might have had the same problem as you but only used one foglight.

$375 for a freaking foglight??? That's extortion! I agree with MyRxBad; buy from somebody else.
