Hey everyone, I looked at my car this morning and noticed something weird with the fog light, as i walked closer to it i see the smashed drivers side fog light!!!!! Sooooooo i was wondering if anyone knows where i can get a drivers side fog light for a 2007 Mazda 3 Hatch back. It's the rectangular looking style. I called MOT and they want $175 for a new one. If anyone has a used one or knows of a place that can get it cheaper let me know. Thanks


Also does McG do the install on these?

Perhaps look through Wreckers, Kijiji, etc.?

I've been looking for the fog light assembly(mainly the glass but the whole assembly works too) as the road rash pretty much created a haze on the fog lamps that reduces almost half the light it should project! Haven't found any yet though :(

I checked kijiji and theres nothing. I called 8 wreckers in toronto and nobody has anything for that year mazda. I think i may just need to grab it from MOT. Does anyone know if you have to take off the bumper to get at the fog light housing? if so does anyone have any how to's

Yes you do. Takes about 10 min with 2 sets of hands, It's extremely easy to do.

good luck with the lights, i think peter sells fogs, you may want to check with him, dealer will be way too much i'm sure.

what side of your fog is busted? i need a driver side lol..

another example why everyone needs to put on light protection like xpel
