Can you buy Clear Lens for the 00+ Fog Lights?
Does anyone know if you can purchase clear glass lens covers for the W210 updated fog lights instead of the "frosted" covers that come with the factory lights?

That's
why they are called fog lights,the beam is not for driving lights,you cant put a driving light bulb in without burning up the socket,the harness etc.,use them as intended,in the fog and rainy nights.
If you want to you can get the selective yellow fog light bulb which looks very European,distinctive,and penetrates the weather much better.www.danielsternlighting.com
He has 65 watt rally bulbs for the high and low beams that last longer and throw way more light then the stock H7 bulb.

Basically, I have HELLA fog lights for my WALD kit (same as W210 lights), but I want them to match my headlights, and I would rather not buy those eBay crystal ones.

The Fog light lens can be bought for a NON AMG Model update W210 2000 on.
The AMG W210 E55 uses the same light as the 208 AMG CLK 55
and One has to buy the complete light assy as the lens is not sold seperate

Clear Fog Light
Well... I was tempted when I first saw the Clear Fog lense on eBay with the Blue-ish lense cover, but they are pricey with that kind of quality. Besides, all the electrical stuff on eBay are fishy.

OC-
i dont have answer to your question, but I do have a suggestion as an aside.
pop off your fluted lens first and take a look at the guts. it's is possible that
the way the fog lights are designed , that they look ugly as hell inside. the
fluted lens design has a way of camoflaging this...and as such, there is less
of a concern with aesthetics, where function is the key. so, as I 've seen
with earlier models, the reflector may be cut and not extend all the way to
the edges...and ugly plastic surrounding the reflector shows.
so, let's say you are able to locate a clear lens and swap out. it will look
butt ugly.
also, bear in mind that the exisiting reflector was designed to work in
conjunction with the fluted lens...with each facet focusing the light into
predetermined beam pattern. replacing it with a clear lens may change the
layout of the beam as well.
so try to assess this and weigh against form v function so that you're not
surprised by what may be hidden behind that frosted lens.
