Fog light lens cracked - alternative to buying new
 
I been surfing the auto accessory websites as well as the china websites to see if I could find a fog lamp replacement to my broken lenses. I cant see myself spending $100 plus on each fog light just because the lens is broken. I know that they are kind of oval in shape but was wondering if anything aftermarket lights fit nice and flush. Maybe knowing the width diameter of the fog lights may help but was wondering if any of the forum members had found a solution they would share here other then buying the OEM lights. Im looking for HID or LED because Id like for them to match the light color to my LED parking lights and HID low beam lights. Any suggestions?

I did do this..... The fog lights are only $30 tops and come as LED as well if you wish, you do have to make a bracket..... I will have a search

Found it..... CLICK HERE
You can get the correct connector too very cheaply, I have done this a few times now and simply splice the other connector to the loom so it is possible to go back to OE if wanted

Part #
 
Thanks XKRacer for that info. I found the part # thru partsgeek to be W0133-1657785 and here is the link = Jaguar XK Fog Light - Fog Lights - Valeo - 2007 07 - PartsGeek.com . Its Valeo brand light and im sure there are other brands. This one is going for $ 44 bucks a piece.

Although some board members dont like the LED look, I am leaning that route. I found these on ebay that seem to fit the same (2007 X150) as well as other vehicles. The trick here will be to make the short aluminum bracket XKRacer talks about in the other thread. These go for $70 bucks the pair. http://www.ebay.com/itm/A-Pair-of-Pu...ht_6838wt_1204 . I will keep searching for options before I move forward with a purchase however the piece of information that XKRacer provided (2006 X150 to I believe 2008) lights will fit our X100 fog lights with minor modifications helps alot.....
