Default replacement foglight

Over the holidays while driving from IL back to FL I busted my drivers side fog light. Basically the glass housing is shattered and is now missing. My question is can i replace the glass housing its self? And if so where can i find just the one. Hopefully I do not have to replace the whole center grill just for the drivers side light. Thanks in advance!!

OEM replacement lights are available from TRD Sparks, but they are expensive - $145 each.

I've seen some on ebay, not OEM, but supposedly OEM replacements - they say "OEM type". They're about $100 for a pair.
Search for 'scion tc fog light oem type' and you'll see them.

I think I have an extra OEM driver side, but the glass is pretty chipped up, they all get that way after a while. I'll check when I get home from work. Will sell it for $50 plus shipping, if you'd be interested in that one.

Those aren't OEM on ebay - they're OEM "TYPE", which is what I pointed out in my post right above yours. That means they are similar, and will fit in the OEM mount, but they are not OEM.
They might work just as well, but if you want genuine OEM replacement parts, those are not OEM.

Same with the complete fog light grille kit you see on ebay - it says 'OEM type' or 'OEM style', meaning it's not OEM, and it's not the one you would get through the dealer. It's a knock off, and that's why it's so much cheaper. The lights are round, don't have the flat section on the top like the OEM lights do.
Be careful to fully read descriptions on ebay, or you might not be getting what you think you're getting.

F you, a-hole. You call me a douche for posting correct information? You posted that OEM replacements were available for $100, which is wrong. The clarification was for the benefit of the OP, who obviously didn't know anything at all about the fogs, or he wouldn't be asking for help in the first place.
