Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Hi, i bought my eclipse in september 2003 and a month later one of my external fog lights broke without any reason, i went to the dealer and told me that must be a rock hitting the fog light and that was not included in the new car warranty, also told me the price for replacement was $160.00 which it seems to me a ridiculous price for a fog light so i went back thinking was my bad luck it happen to me, now here i am a year and half after the incident with my fog light still broken since i have had not the money to replace it. but now i am seeing a lot owners with the same exact problem that mine and i think those fog lights are defective and should be replaced at not cost to the owner. *cb
