anybody know of a website or somewhere I could buy a new passenger side foglight for an 02 C32? Got nailed by something the other day that shattered the foglight lense and I don't want to have to go through the dealership to get a new one. thanks

They retail for around 110 dollars

I use aftermarket bulbs
and they ALWAYS BREAK IF the aftermarket bulb is on and the foglight touches water (rainy, during carwash..etc)

The C55 foglamps are somehow much more easier to break than others.

do we have to replace the entire foglight? my foglight is also damaged but only the lens needs replacement. my bulb is fine.

Doesn't using aftermarket bulbs defeat the purpose then? Fog is made of water! :p :p :p

yup, using aftermarket bulbs will heat up the fog lamp lense so hot that when it touches water, it will crack then shatter.

I tried to find only the lense, but i think they only sell whole fog lamps...I replaced 3.
and i couldnt make it a warranty thing coz the dealer said its from a road hazard...(even when i knew it was the aftermarket bulb in which wont be covered by warranty)
