Need to replace fog light lense

Anyone know best place to get a set? (dealer notwithstanding) Just my driver's side is cracked, but I feel I should replace the pair, since they are old and pitted.

I've seen these on eBay, but I hate using eBay parts on an AMG...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/00-02-MERCED...c7568b&vxp=mtr

I've also seen some fogs with round projector lenses inserted into the mesh, so it pops right in the normal slot. I'll try to find a pic if I can.

Thanks guys!

The ones you have listed are depot brand which is decent. I have the same set you linked and have had zero problems with them and they truly update the look of the vehicle. I HATE the stock lenses, crystal fogs FTW!

503C43, can you post a pic of them on your car? Obviously, I can get standard replacement lenses, but I'm looking for something a little more "up-to-date", which it appears you may have found!

Nope. No one makes fogs for the 36 except AMG

I know parts are epensive over here, but I love this car to damn much I want it to be one of the best c36's out there, I hate the type of people that think they can buy an amg for cheap and then just drive it without maintaining it. Over a few months I will start a threat with my mods, going to invest more then the car would cost in the usa lol

I have the same (DEPO) on mine and they look and work great. I remember I had to fettle a bit so as to fit the old clips. Otherwise, the clear lens sharpens up the front

In case someone needs them, I have a brand new set of Depo fog lights for sale for a C43. new in boxes. 25% off advertized prices on E-Pay. I bough them for my C36 and they only fit the 43, the dealer lied. My C43 does not need any.
PM or contact me here.

With 100,000 miles, mine were also very pitted. I replaced both lenses with a set from:
http://www.autohausaz.com/.
I then put HIDs behind the new lenses, run with them on day and night, and love them!

benzini, can you post some pics? nd4spd, same goes for you. I only need the driver side, but since the passenger is so old and pitted, I may replace them both.
