I just noticed one of my fog lights on my EX is broken. The light still works, so I'm not sure if there is just a lens covering the bulb, or if I have to get a new bulb and this is part of the lens, or...?
How hard is it to replace the lens? Do I need to take that whole bottom plastic piece off just to get to the light?
Thanks!

I have not changed the fog light lense on a cr-v, but on a Fit, it comes a a sealed unit, only the lamp can be changed and yes the plastic all has to come apart on off, you can stick your hands inbetween to get access. might almost be easier to take all the plastic shroud off to gain access.

Of course, the ones I ordered are clear plastic (I think), and the original Honda parts are nice, multi-faceted glass. But if they're going to keep breaking, no way am I going to shell out that kind of coin for glass replacements.
Thanks for the help.
Here are the ones I ordered, if anyone was curious: https://www.ebay.com/itm/382463818056

good choice. I got my fog lamp set up for my 02 civic from ebay. clear lenses are good, brighter, just some feed back on a real foggy drive, it kind of get over bright back to you. so now I use yellow fog lamps, no bright feed back from the heavy fog, can see a lot better with head light off. (not recommended to have head light off )

Fog lite with broken lens
I'm still keeping the lamps I ordered, just in case. I may install them myself later on, down the road, so to speak.

Fog lite with clamps holding it in place.

Yeah, this is what I found after a little snooping around on the Internets. No one has just the lens, so I had to buy a pair of new lights. They were $55, as opposed to the dealer, who wanted to charge me $211 for one light.
