BROKEN FOG light lens questions and protections
Got a Fit Sport with the fog lights,just over 1500 miles and both foglihts are broken,stones from cars in front. Any body know of any stoneguards made for the Fit,before I replace the lights? Thanks in advance for any help on this. Bill

They don't have a pre-cut kit for the foglights yet, but I ordered 2 pieces of 4 x 6 in yellow today for my Fit. If you are ordered a few different pieces, call Christopher Wadle @ 866.632.6182 and tell him Jeff (jdmparts@gmail.com) referred you. You should be able to get a discounted price, I did. I got shipping & handling waived and also a discount on all the pieces I ordered.

Just for kicks, check with the service guys at your dealership. When I've had my fog lights kicked out so early in my car's life, they've replaced them for free. That also lets Honda know that there's a deficiency in the design (i.e., easy to break).

Thanks for the responses,looks like I'll make something,figured this being on the road in Europe and Japan for a while there might have been something available already. At 194.oo dollars per side I won't let it happen again. Any body seen the Honda acc kit for foglights? Wondering what color the outer housing is on those. Thanks Bill

Let me try using ASCII art to describe this...
