1998 C43 AMG fog lights - round?
I'm the proud new owner of a 1998 C43 AMG! I'm looking for a site to buy both fog light assemblies as they are missing. Seems I might have a unique bumper as the fog light openings are round, and I can only find replacements assemblies that are not round but what I can only describe as a horizontal tear drop, sort of oval.
I've attached a picture of my bumper with the round openings.
Any suggestions?
Thank you for your time!

Welcome and congratulations on your purchase 
You definitely have a different bumber. Perhaps the round fogs from the W203 or W204 may fit
or leave them as air vents for the brakes, but better you place some mesh over the holes

Definitely not a stock C43 bumper, in fact I have never seen a bumper like that.
Check out the fog lights for a W210 E55, they look like they might fit:

Thank you both for your replies! I will check into your suggestions. FYI just after I bought it the transmission (108,000 miles) would not shift out of 2nd. Took it to a small repair shop www.motortechcda.com who specializes in MB. He replaced the electronic plate inside the gear box and works great. One other thing please - how do i check the air filter? I removed the AMG forward cover but can't seem to figure out how to get into the air filter assembly that sits on top of the rear part of the engine.

It's a companny that makes aftermarket parts like bodykits http://www.carshine.com.au/index.htm...%20Styling.htm
I recognize almost all aftermarket parts by brand lol, but I don't happen to know what lights might fit sorry.
