Fog lights expensive to replace.

[swguy]

I have a MY06 Accord Euro std with the accessory fog lamps dealer fitted when new. One of them has been broken by a flying rock so now has water inside.
I have contacted 2 different dealers and they both say that the only way i can buy the lamp is to buy the accessory kit of 2 lamps complete with switch and everything again. The price was about $230 inc gst.
Apparently the kit is sourced by Honda in Australia and the light is different from the one fitted to the luxury model. That one retails for about $250 each.
Even though i can buy the kit at a cheaper price that the individual lamp from the luxury, it still seems unfair that i have to purchase a whole kit.
Can anyone help with suggestions on obtaining the individual light or anything else that may help?
Thanks in advance.

You could buy a cheap set of similar sized foggies from ebay, cut of the cables and connect them to the existing wiring. Fitment/mounting may be a problem though.

Fog light kit with switch and wiring is only $230?!! Are you sure about that - as that is very cheap.

As for single lamps - they are definately available in the USA. Acura of Escondido (on ebay) sells OEM lamps for $100US each including new globe.

my mate invented em.. years ago lol. well made them for automotive use..
they were hand made, and were $650 for a set then. his business is called outsight.
the bigger ones he had was good, i had 1 led lamps, and it produced alot of light for what it was, he hadn 3 and 5 led setups as well, they also came with like a ballast looking box thing.
