Broken Fog Light Replacement
Thanks, vpt85 for posting the instructions. I had to replace my driver's side fog on a C350 Sport. Getting those four torx screws out from behind was a b*tch, especially the top right where there's barely room.
But the dealer quoted me $250 and I replaced the light for $84 from Auto Lamps in Florida (they sell on eBay) and 1+ hours of elbow grease.

Replaced my driver side fog light yesterday. Got the light from RMeuropean for $80 after ordering the wrong one from Amazon. According to Amazon the C300 Sport is AMG 
The hardest part was getting the old light out. There is almost zero room to remove the torx screws and since you can't see what you're doing it makes it that more difficult. Once you remove the screws, you have to pull back on wheel well liner to get the light out through the bottom. Putting in the new light is the same, up through the bottom. It took a few minutes to get the light properly lined up with the screw holes (once again, you're working blind). Got it all tightened down and finally put the connector on. Buttoned everything back up, and it looks great. Never got a quote from the local MB stealer, but I imagine it would have been upwards of $300.
Glad to have saved at least $200. Now on to other important things with this car, the AC.

Shipping will take a while, but if you're just looking to replace them and flip the car, this is a cheap way
