My right fog light glass broke aswell last week. I ordered the part from MB, it took a day to come in. I'll post the part number once I dig it up from the trash.
Fairly easy to do, took me 15 min.
Turn the wheel all the way to the right, I feel that it was easier to access the wheel panel, or you could just take off your wheel.
There are three 10mm size nuts that are located on the lower part of the wheel panel
On that same panel there are two snap tight fasteners.
I bought extra fasteners from MB just in case I screwed one up.
Pull the center pin out with a flat head, once the pin is out you could pull out the whole thing with your fingers.
On the bottom of your front bumper you will see 4 or 5 more fasteners, can't remember.
After you pull those out you could pull the wheel panel out to get access to your fog light.
There are two 8mm nuts holding your fog light in place. There are on both sides of the lamp, you can't miss them. Once you pull those nuts out you could push your fog light out from the outside in.
The fog light glass cost me 25 dollars from MB and the fasteners were a buck each.
Hope this helps guys

In addition to my front bumper, fender, hood and mirrors, my fog lamp lenses also have the invisible bra film applied for protection. It is not known if it would prevent this failure, but as is often said: "It can't hurt".

a lot of duplicate posts on here could be avoided, with a quick scan through his site. Thanks wizkid, if I haven't told you before.

anyone install YELLOW foglights? yellow oem-style or yellow clear lens or even yellow bulbs (which is better anyway)? my right foglight cracked so a replacement is in need. i'd prefer yellow since there is lots of fog in the spring and fall where i live and replace both foglights.
