its hard to find aftermarket replacement parts for me too. The fog light bulb is H11, wish I could help more.

jade - thanks for the info. What kind of paint did you use to repaint side pieces and grill? Any photos? Thank you in advance!

yeah - I’m thinking I will replace the tail light assembly and fog light assembly and the rest just try to repaint.

I tried to add pictures twice it keeps telling me cannot download. I used the rustoleum 2x coverage without primer but did use an enamel clear coat. Smooth finish and has been going strong for a few months now without any bubbling or chips. My only con is don’t let wax touch it. And wish I had did more glossy finish. What’s your email and I can see if it will let me email them.

Use any plastic recommended paint, Rustoleum is good. If you google how to paint plastic, there are tons of vids on Youtube. Clean it well, use a scotchbrite pad to lightly scuff, clean again, use a mild plastic adhesive coat and then apply a few coats of your paint. You can seal with clear or semi gloss. If you apply thin multi-coats before the previously applied coat is not fully dry then you can get away with light scuffing, cleaning and paint only. The Powerful UK site above has a video on how to re & re the side grills, I'd recommend watching how they remove it as my first instincts likely would have broken at least one of them .
