I would check ebay or the classified. Maybe some folks that upgrade to Bix want to sell their stock one.

it's either those clear ones or bi-xenon with the projector lens. Maybe that pic makes them look different.

That's stock clear one.
Or if you go on ebay, type w203 headlight, they have clear projector or black housing projector.

You don't mention what country you are in. Is it possible that the housings have leaked and the lens looks foggy because of condensation inside?
