Cracked fog light lens

After STFF giving me thousands of unrelated responses, can anyone recommend a place to get just the lens for the driver's side fog light? Mine's cracked and won't pass inspection. I've tried buymbparts.com but they only have the whole assembly.

Thanks!

If you have the sport package, you have to buy the entire assembly.

The OP has the other type of fogs, and can buy the lens at the dealership.

Do the right thing and hit up sticker city + buy some clear laminate and cover the fog lights too.

I went through a spree of ~ three sets of fog lights in two years, but then installed my latest set with the laminate and they're still in use now! and unbroken after about two years of use.

Both of my fog lenses have been replaced due to cracks. $25 each at the dealer. They usually crack from the bumper flexing, not a rock according to the dealer parts man. My passenger side went after an errant hub cap on the freeway wacked the side of the bumper. The driver side cracked when a truck dumped a load of alloy rims on the freeway and I hit one of them. The outline of the rim was on the front of the bumper and nowhere near the fog lens. So if you curb your bumper....check the lens.

The lens itself is not too expensive. After replacing the driver side lens on my sister's sedan, I got scared so I put 3M on mine and now they're bullet proof.

I guess putting 3M on them is a good idea!!

Sign up for a free EPC account and look up the pn of the lens.
I bought mine online for $15 each.

And that was for clear ones. Upgraded from the frosties...

That's a pretty cool trick. Are the clear lenses the same PN as the frosties? They've got 4 hits for the PN, 2 left and 2 right. I figured they might be frosty/clear.

Ummm...I'll have to look....a little later.
I ended up with one frosty and one clear and then had to pay the dealer
$35 for the right one, which more than the total for both online.

Oh gotta love the dealer and their robbery I mean, markups.

Meanwhile if you search, going back about 2 years under my username, you'll find the thread where I painted
and installed the clear lenses...I painted the white internal part, silver, like BBQ paint that can take heat.

Foglight lenses are the same for both coupe and sedan in 2003. Unless you have AMG.
I posted the pn's there for sure.
