    Eaton causes foglight to explode

    When in Ocean City on Saturday, Impalaslayer pulled away from a light rather aggressively and I happened to be behind him. I heard some debris hit the front of my car, but never gave it a second thought. I was walking to my car this morning while at work, I noticed the passenger side fog light lens is completely shattered...only small shards of glass remain...Seems like the Eaton beat up more than just F-bodies while in O.C.....Thanks Dave... Anyone know where to find a replacement lens?

    You have to buy the whole assembly. I had that happen once from a rock. I had to get the entire assembly from Ford. I don't know if the price droped but it was $88.40 without tax Part number 3w3z-15200-ab


    Bought Her for my 40th B Day in August of 2004 @ Crest Lincoln Mercury
    Assembled 12/17/2003

    It lists for $133.15. Maybe Ray "The Dealer" can help you here.
    (#6178 in black per FPIC)
    Call 1-800-FORD-788 and press "1". Have the last 6 of your VIN handy. You will get the numbers for FREE. You'll pay $$$ for the certificate.

    MM traded in 8/9/13 @ 128909 miles. It was fun for almost 8 years. I met airmercpun on 1/17/14. He was the new owner of my former ride. -Now gone.

    Update: back in the game with a late build 03 GMGS with some MM add ons like Escape audiophile radio w/Sirius sat radio, rear sway bar, catback exhaust, and header panel.

    See my garage file for part numbers and whatnot.

    IMHO, this site- the members that I chat with- and the ones that I now Hang with- are like my 2nd family. There is such an ongoing welcome feeling here that even members who don't or no longer own the MM can feel.

    My foglight just fell out of the holder. Heard something dragging on the ground. The harness connector stayed connected prevented losing it. Reattached it and secured the harness to the fender support brace with nylon ties.

    If one of mine ever broke I would just buy some PIAA fog lights or some other brand that was close to the same size and shape and replace them then do my HID conversion while the before putting the new units in.

    Or just pick up something like this

    I looked at replacing mine with aftermarket foglights but you'd run into massive mounting issues.

    Just replace one on my Lightning... I looked around because the prices varied greatly. Picked one up for $59.00 and the quality and service was excellent. Prices on the net ranged from 59-140. The 00 Lightning turned out to be the same as a 96 Ranger and some Fox body Mustangs.

    I don't know if there are alternate applications for the MM. Good luck with your search.
