And you've got an 05? Get'em replaced under warranty then... and after that, then worry about replacing them with better ones. At least you could sell them.

euro's got a point, get the replaced, then if you REALLY don't like them, sell em to cover a portion of a new set

I don't think there are many choices out there for foglights for an 05 yet, though I could be wrong.

Umm if anything I'd like to borrow one to try something ( to see if they fit into the 2002+ facelift bumper ) if they fit then you have a few choices.

What did you use to paint that? If theres one thing on my '05 front end that I dispise it's the black plastic surround on the foglights, it looks so damn cheap 'cause it never stays black for long after its washed <_<

I went to the local paint shop with my paint code, and they matched it perfectly. They did use AUTOMOTIVE paint too. I was extremely happy with the results. Notice the center grill and my mirrors...did those as well.

I removed the cover, sanded it down and scuffed it up a bit, gave it like 3 coats of primer (grey automotive primer) and about 4 light coats of paint...let dry, re-install, and look cool.

I see, I see.... problem in my case is a really doubt they'd look good done up in the Sangria Red that the car is. Maybe painting them a true black or getting blacks with some reflective flakes mixed in...
