FusionFanatic Report post Posted July 14, 2008 you can order them from any Ford / Lincoln / Mercury dealer. MSRP is $28.73 each ($57.46 total). the actual price is up to the dealer. you can buy/order them from online parts dealers like TeamFordParts.com. that site sells them for $21.38 each ($42.76 total). it may be a little cheaper or it may not be cheaper at all. either way you'll have to pay for shipping as well, so I would call your local dealer first to see what will cost you more. good luck :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I failed to mention I already have the actual fog lights. Anyway, are these hard to swap out? EDIT: Went in today for a TSB on window scratches. I checked and they want 32.08 for each side!!

CJLee89 Report post Posted July 14, 2008 I think I am going to try and use the Duplicolor chrome spray paint. And see if I can get the same results for a fraction of the price. Has anyone used this before? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FusionFanatic Report post Posted July 15, 2008 I think I am going to try and use the Duplicolor chrome spray paint. And see if I can get the same results for a fraction of the price. Has anyone used this before?I have used that paint before on other things and it looks 'ok' but it will look like spray paint, not chrome ;) you definitely won't get "the same results", but since I haven't actually tried it I can't say how good or bad it would look. I have an old can of that duplicolor chrome paint sitting in my basement. haven't used it in years so I don't know if it's any good any more, but if it still sprays then I'll paint a spare piece of ABS plastic and see what it looks like. I'll post up a picture of the 'spray chromed' ABS piece next to the chrome grill so you can see the difference. EDIT: good news, it still sprays! (but it was almost out, so I used the rest on the test piece). I'll let it dry overnight and post a pic up tomorow to show how it will look. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just went out to look at the black inserts that I have now and they have a semi-rough texture to them so it will not look as good. Still post a picture though [= Oh and on the site you listed....whats the difference between w/ foglights and w/o foglights? you think w/o would be cheaper. there are no pictures.

FusionFanatic Report post Posted July 15, 2008 on the site you listed....whats the difference between w/ foglights and w/o foglights? you think w/o would be cheaper. there are no pictures."w/ foglights" = with foglights"w/o foglights" = without foglights the "w/o foglights"; are the standard textured black plastic covers/inserts that come on "S" model Fusions. instead of a hole for a foglight, they have a molded plastic dome (basically a fake foglight). the "w/ foglights" - Black; are the standard textured black plastic covers/inserts that come on "SE" model Fusions. same as above, but instead of a dome, it has a hole for the foglight. the "w/ foglights" - Chrome; these are the covers/inserts that come on the "SEL" model Fusions. the primed ones are ready to paint, I'm not sure what model Fusions they come on.

FusionFanatic Report post Posted July 15, 2008 ok, here's the 'spray chromed' plastic pics... the sample piece is a subwoofer port (vent/tube) made of ABS plastic (the foglight inserts are probably ABS plastic as well). the paint actually looks ok and shines pretty good on the smooth plastic (the inside and outside of the tube), but the outer ring is textured and the paint looks very dull on that part. either way, you can tell it isn't chrome. while the smooth plastic shines, it lacks the mirror-like shine of chrome. ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CJLee89 Report post Posted July 15, 2008 Thanks a lot! The W/ and W/O makes sense now. I was thinking that it came with the fog lights or it didn't. Looks like I am going to have to order them from that site if I want the true part. lol And the part you painted is called the port, fyi! ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FusionFanatic Report post Posted July 15, 2008 you don't have to buy from that site, there are a few other online parts dealers that may have even lower prices. I was just using TFP as an example because I have bought parts from them before and have had a good experience each time. shipping is fast and cheap (well, cheap if you choose USPS priority mail). And the part you painted is called the port, fyi! ;)yes, I know... the second sentence of my last post said: "the sample piece is a subwoofer port", fyi! ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MSRP is $28.73 each ($57.46 total). the actual price is up to the dealer. you can buy/order them from online parts dealers like TeamFordParts.com. that site sells them for $21.38 each ($42.76 total). it may be a little cheaper or it may not be cheaper at all. either way you'll have to pay for shipping as well, so I would call your local dealer first to see what will cost you more. good luck :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
solarpen Report post Posted March 5, 2009 mine too! i have a 2007 and i'm dying to get the chrome. went to the dealership and said they can order it but all you need to do is give them the VIN off a 2008 or 09 model. Where can I get the chrome housings for the fog lights? My SE came with flat black ones. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
