STS Scott Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Well, i remember reading posts in the past about others needing new fog lights for various reasons, but I always just thought "Oh, mine will never need replacing, thier bolted up in that bumper nice and snug". I thought wrong! So, here I am, asking if anyone has any leads on where to seek out a replacement fog light for my STS. The reason I need one is that, the darn bulb came out of the socket, and was resting on the lip of the hole where the bulb goes in the light. The heat generated by the bulb melted the plastic into a mangeled mess, and now it will not accept any lightbulbs. Even if I did get one in there, there would be no way to seal the light from moisture or dirt, etc. Any Ideas where I can get a used one? Thanks for the help!

Chris Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 What side fog are you looking for? I need a left one (bracket is shot), and if you need a right one (?) we might be able to get a set off eBay and split. Also, you might try wrecking yards. I tried a couple yards in Windsor and Toronto last month. Together, they had 3 sevilles, but all three had no front end left at all they said. If you live there, call around, see what they have to say. Again, if you find a set and want to split the cost, let me know! -Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiljak Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 I'll let you guys in on a little secret. If you go to car-part.com you can search all salvage yards in your state, or nationwide. I usually do nationwide and just have them ship the part. My fog light was $90 shipped. James 1999 STS 65k 1995 STS 127k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STS Scott Posted June 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 I called all of the local wreckers, and all of them said "good luck", that this was a difficault part to come by. Thats not very encouraging!

stsjoe Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 I got a pair off ebay for 120, but they are tough to find without being all pitted up. I think the best price new was at carpart.com and they were still around 140 a pop. I had the same problem with the socket and just siliconed it back on, you could try rigging up aftermarkets but that is up to you.
