Help with touring Fog Lamps

One of my fog lamps is broken - the glass lens part came out of the metal (or plastic?) housing. The one lamp that does work says PIAA on the very front of the lens. Does the touring model come with PIAA lamps or did a previous owner put on aftermarket ones? I would like to replace it but have no idea if I should be looking for stock ones or not.

Thanks!

If you are looking for bulbs, you can get them at autozone. They have Piaa with 55w which shines brighter and it's much better.

I mean that's what i did before i took them off all together. It looks much better without fog lights with 99 front lip.

the touring model came with stock looking yellow fog lights! The original owner could have easily changed them obviously, but I'm sure if you just start a thread in the Parts for sale/ wanted section, someone will have a set! People are always getting rid of those lamps because there isn't a big demand for them! Good Luck!

The one working fog lamp I do have that is intact is bluish in color and says in letters PIAA on the very front of the lens - not the bulb, but the lens part that you can actually touch on the front.

Does that imply that they are aftermarkets? The stock ones don't say PIAA on them anywhere do they?

Mine don't, but I took them off also. They block alot of air up front.

The STOCK FD Foglamps are NOT PIAA's they were made by Koito iirc (as were the OEM headlamps)
