Default RH Fog light with broken lens and good internals

Hello all, I am refurbishing a couple of SRT6 roadsters. One of the RH fog light internal reflectors has deteriorated. Hoping there might be a few of you who saved fog lights with broken lenses? Willing to pay shipping and hoping for "Pay it Forward" on the fog light internal. Please contact me via e-mail at RedDogNumber1@aol.com if you can help out . . .
Thanks,

Jim, wouldn't "no housing and no lens" mean you just have the 9006 bulb ?

The lens is the glass at the front of the housing that gets broken and the bulb housing is the mirror as well.

By reversing the rubber tube on the back and reclipping the adjusting screw in the mirrored position it will fit the the other fog lamp. The actual mirrowed part is identical for both sides of the car, as are the rubber tube, the adjusting screw and the O-ring. Only the housing is mirrowed for left and right hand.
The hole in the front of the lens goes at the top of the housing and the rubber tube is a breather which comes from the back of the hole and points down. The adjusting screw is on the opposite side to the rubber tube position. The bulb is positioned so that the bulb connector points down.

The part shown in the photos is the second generation unit which dropped the built in reflector which often came loose.
If the reflector falls off it can be hidden from sight and the method to do this is outlined in a PDF by 04Fire CLICK on this forum.

100 You are 50%% right on this one, i just looked at it, by removing the adi screw and reinstalling it 1 1/2" from the mounting lug or changing it from 5 o-clock to 7 o-clock it becomes a right hand. the hose remains where it is ,,,but yes 100 it can be a left or right
the only thing that is left and right is the the mounting housing which has a chrysler emblem stamped on it

take a close look.

It can be relocated, take it off, rotate it 180° so the open end is on the opposite side and bend it down and relocate it on the snap that is on the opposite side to the one it has just been removed from.
The rubber may need to be heated as it has taken a set after being in one position so long. When you remove the hose it straightens out about 50% so it was not molded in the shape it sits in. When new it could be bent either way, why increase production costs with a left and right hand part when one straight part would work.
Mounting housing? I state the the housing is the only part which is handed for obvious reasons.

the hose is not in the way. if you move the adj screw you don't have to re bend/heat /remove/ or anything to the hose. YOU do not have to touch the hose. Out of 4 crossfires we looked at within the last hour, 3 were hose on left and right 1 was both hoses were on the right (same side) so some one already moved the adj screw so to fit the fog light properly
we not have the info thanks 100, that the fog light (not housing) can be used for left or right so Red dog can now pick up this left hand reflector and make it a right hand and restore the fog lights on his roadster Done.

I agree - done and dusted. Red Dogs problem is over.

I compared my pair of brand new generation one fog lamps and the hoses were on opposite sides, it probably depended on who assembled them which side they were put, as the spigot to mount the open end is on both sides.
My 2005 SRT has generation one fogs on it.
