I mean really...who steals foglamps off a car?!

Does anyone know where I can get replacements for a good price? They were the yellow 430 versions.

I'm so pissed and my car looks so ugly now

Thanks for the kind comments and suggestions guys. Ya the car is tech not mine anymore. My boss took it over and is finishing off the payments cuz he liked it so much. He came into work today all upset so I told him I'd post here to try and help him get some replacements. We're not even sure how they were removed. Do they have screws in the front that you unscrew and they just pull out? That's stupid on Lexus' part and probably why they are targeted so often. It appears someone cut one of the cords to get it off so I’m assuming we’d have to replace those too or are they one piece?

I don't think he'll go for the security screws but if anyone knows where I can get some replacements and the wiring if need be at a good price we'd appreciate it - no retro or anything the car is completely stock (as he likes it).

Someone here might be selling some in the classifieds section or you can try a place where they sell nothing but car lights almost like a pick-u-part. but that's like a 50/50 chance they'll have it. Or of course a guarantee place a lexus dealer.
