Today I noticed my pass. side fog was cracked by a flying stone,and I guess I will pick up a used part off e-bay {plenty to choose from for around $30-40 it seems}

Any ideas how to remove the damaged lamp? I am hoping it can be completed from the front without removing bumper or other body parts???

No need to go behind the bumper. Pop off the trim piece next to the fog lamp to expose the mounting screws. IIRC the 3rd screw is a beam adjustment screw so you don't need to mess with it.

I've seen the same good deals on Ebay for the fog light sets. Quite a bit cheaper than a few years ago when they were hard to find except new. For $50/pair everyone should have a spare set because you know that eventually one or the other will get broken by a rock.

Used fog lamps are a crapshoot because no one armors them so they are all chipped or worse.

Best way is on a lift from underneath.
