IL Factory Fog lights on my R1

One of the glass lenses appears broken off on my R1. It doesn't look like the glass is replaceable or am I just wrong again? If it's not replaceable, where do I buy these and how much?

Danke,

Adam

Glass is easily replaceable. There's one 10mm bolt holding the foglight in, pop it out and unplug. Take it apart, swap lens, done.

Best bet is to buy a good used foglight, you can get just the lens from Mazda but last I checked they were quite pricey.

Also, R1's didn't come stock with foglights. If they're not factory foglights, you're in a bad place. May want to post up a pic, if they're aftermarket, you're hosed.

Really, no kidding. Well, I'll get some photos tomorrow in the daylight. They look awful stock.

Thanks Dale!

Here is a photo of the car I have from before I bought it that shows the fog lights.

Not real up close and personal though.

Hmm, well, then I need to rip the old kitty cat's off. They were a bit large for my taste anyway.

Thanks!

Anyone want some broken old catz thingies?

Yep, definitely aftermarket fogs. That was HUGE in the '90s, don't see them much any more.
