Fog Light Help!!
Anyone knows the part no. of the fog lights? Mine is cracked, should I just get it at the dealership or I can go directly to Hella? Dealership price for one (NOT PAIR) is $211.00 + tax.

I have seen several posts on the topic of fog lights getting broken on the W204s, this appears to be a design flaw that MB needs to address across the model range. I had read all of the horror stories and had the tint shop put 3M clear tint on the fogs that is designed for lights. The tint comes with a warranty that 3M will pay for replacement of the light if they get broken once the tint has been applied. I don't know the standalone cost for this, but the kit had clear tint for the fogs, headlights, and mirrors. Once on you can not see the tint at all. So far, so good but I have only put maybe another 2000 miles on the car since the tint was installed. Here is the link to the store that I found the info on http://www.solartint.com/PaintProtection.aspx.
I hope this helps some of you guys out going forward.

Same question here. Anyone know how to remove the foglights? I heard that you can unscrew it from the front without removing the bumper nor trim.
There is one screw underneath the round chrome cover, but I think that's for leveling the light position?

What'd you pay and does this also protect the headlight covers from becoming yellowed or hazed? May not only save from damage but from having to ever clean them again!!!

If you look at the price I paid for the total package, the headlamp protection package could not have been over $150 +/- when you consider the shop did all the windows, the headlights/fog lights/mirrors, labor, and tax for $340. Well worth the investment considering the $1000 breakage protection warranty that came with the headlight protection package.

I don't recall the breakout price for the headlight tint work as it was part of my whole tint package that I had them do for me. My all in price for 3M 35% window tint all around and the headlight protection package was $340 OTD. My understanding is that this film does not yellow and requires no special care.
