Fog lights
Hi, one of my fog light lenses is cracked. The light still works, but I'd still like to fix it. Is there a replacement lens or will the entire fog light have to be changed? How hard of a DIY project would this be?

I hear ya on the lamin-x. I just ordered it for the fogs.
Another quick question, I saw this on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...TQ:MOTORS:1123
It looks legit but the only pause I have is that the part number listed in the auction (OEM MBZ Part #230 820 0556) is different from another parts website (Part# : 209 820 07 56, http://www.bimmerspecialist.com/usa/..._search_page/#)
So which should I go with to get fitment? Anyone else have this issue or order a fog light on ebay? I'd obviously like to go with the ebay listing because of the price, but I dont want to get stuck with something that doesnt fit.

Go with bimmerspecialist. The e-bay ones are not the C63 fogs. Look at the centered bulb, the C63 bulbs are off to the side. I just got mine this week from bimmer and they are exactly the same - Hellas.

They seem to have very good prices. (E.g. $151.50 for the fog light)

Same thing just happened to me, cracked fog light lens. Does anybody know if this is an easy replacement (unscrew and then replace the whole assembly) or is it a big job that is best left to the dealer? Is it possible to just replace the broken lens, or do you have to replace the entire assembly? Anybody actually do this to their car yet?

F@$*! Lights
We here in sunny South Africa don't have the luxury of online shopping, I was quoted about US$ 320 each, and I need to replace both! 
Does anybody know of a shop that will ship to RSA? I tried https://www.getmercedesparts.com and www.bimmerspecialist.com but they don't seem to ship internationally.

They're going for $200/ea here in Houston.
This is a widespread problem, and I honestly don't think road debris is the only culprit. If you notice that your front lip is scratched up (beneath the broken fog light), then maybe rubbing against the curb caused it to crack.
Maybe it's just my belief, but I'm making this assumption based on my own experience. I'd still get the recommended lamin-X, just in case it's actually debris causing it to crack.
