Since the foglights come as sealed units from factory (directly from Toyota) I think that chances of being able to just buy a lens are basically non-existant.

Only possible solution I see would be to buy another pair of foglights. On the first pair knock out the lenses and clean out the mounting grooves. On the secont pair take them apart by grinding down the reflector while trying to save the lenses. IMO, this is not worth the trouble.

I got mine apart. No noticable damage either. Now, I just need to find a good sealant / adhesive that will properly seal / hold the lenses in place. The lenses have a larger radius to them than the housings so they do not want to sit flush on the ends by themselves, when you put them back together.

Heat and Prying. You have to get them hot enough that the lenses are about to melt in order to get the glue to let go. I'll likely do a DIY over the next week and post a link here. Its really not that bad if you have the right prying tools. It only took me 10 minutes to get the 2nd one off (including heat time).
