Second...the front of my fog lights look really ugly...i mean really dirty...but it is not dirt...it is really rough looking and to the touch...anyway to clean that? if not... do you all know of any sites or companies like autozone who carry these stock fog lights besides the dealer??

We all suffer from headlight condensation. Some have removed and coated joints with silicon but don't know how well that works.

Big-L can provide details on aftermarket foglights. You can try cleaning the existing light with toothpaste (not get, regular colgate). The light silica grit will sometimes polish out small pits or scratches.

We have 2 O2 sensors. First is in the rear exhaust manifold near the #6 plug. Second is in the exhaust, just aft of the CAT in the u-bend. The first one is going to cause your gas mileage problems.

You can buy some Cyber Whites Part # NV-602W from Walmart for about 40 bucks for a pair.With little modifying they fit.They are the same size as stock (4in) just have to modify the bracket.They are much brigther then stock since they use an H-4 55W Halogen Bulb VS the stock 880 bulb at 28 watts.

is it just me, of if either o2 sensor is bad, it can cause bad gas mileage?

[BIG-L]

The upstream O2 monitors Fuel and air.It is the primary measurement device for the fuel control computer in your car to know if the engine is too rich or too lean. The O2 sensor is active anytime it is hot enough, but the computer only uses this information in the closed loop mode. Closed loop is the operating mode where all engine control sensors including the Oxygen sensor are used to get best fuel economy, lowest emissions, and good power.

The Down stream O2 monitors the effectiveness of the catalytic converter.
