Please; look at the Picture. I do not know what this lamp / light is called, but the glass/plastic cover was broken on one side and I need to know what a new cover costs as the lightbulb sticks right out. Not good looking.

Is that a factory option or an aftermarket ?
The parts I see listed on GM Parts Direct don't even show that light as an option... see attached...

Thank you, but I do not Think it is fog lights as the light is to weak. I thought at first that it was some kind of parking light or such.

Thank you for the attachement. I do not know if it is aftermarket. Strange that GM parts do not have it. Maybe it is from some other car? I should've taken better Pictures of it.

You might check the wiring from behind the cowling and see if it looks factory or if it was added.. are you the only owner?

I do not own the car. Yet. Im thinking about buying it, but I do not want to have a broken light on a "new" car. The car have had one previous owner since it was imported in 2009. Now it is at a retailer.


I do believe that it was added, because no one of the cars I see on Google have the same lights.

i assumed it was aftermarket. shouldnt be that hard to get it to work.

is there a switch to turn it on? or was it wired to turn on with the headlights.

see if you can trace the wires. to see where they go.

It turns on automatic with the headlights. And Yes, I need spare parts. Can not find them. I have to go to the car again and take better pictures of it.
