I just noticed the pass side fog light is broken. Any tips on removal and replacement?(2012 RX 350) Thanks

Welcome to CL, Penumbra.

Unfortunately you're not the first person to have the fog light lens break. Here is a thread on the topic:

Good luck with the repair.

Thanks Looks like I might be going to the dealer. I looked around the engine compartment etc . Doesn't look like an easy fix.

Wow, did someone broke that? I'd be really pissed and that person is not gonna get away if I knew who did it to mine.

Doubtful someone did that purposefully. The closer to the road the higher the risk of stone hits. The film protection can help reduce risk. The thing you can do is don't tailgate. The closer you are to the vehicle ahead the more stone chips you will get. That goes especially when following trucks.

How do you remove the "panel surrounding the lite itself?

The best way is to remove the bumper. I believe you will need to replace the entire lamp.

Turn the front tire . Pull the fender liner back by removing the clips. You probably only remove the local clips and the lower bolt and you can pull it away enough to get to the fog light. The light is only held in with two scews.

Hmm. I look at mine a fews days ago as I was replacing the bulbs to HID and noticed one screw holding the fixture in. Looks like an easy piece to remove to me.

FYI - I installed the Lamin-X film covers ($18) in Optic Blue on my new RX350 - 1 yr ago. I do a lot of HWY driving. So far, no broken fog light lens.

Are you folks sure the lense is made of glasses?
I tapped on the lense. It sounds like plastic.
Mine is 2011 RX350. Bought last Aug.

It's plastic.

I second the recommendation of Lamin-X lens covers, or similar product to protect them from road debris breakage. Cost is minimal compared to the alternative. I have some on my RX.
