OUCH! Must have been hit by a rock or flying debris. I doubt if MB would sell just the lens. Changing the entire fog light assembly is pretty easy. Jack up the car and unscrew the black plastic cover behind/below the bumper ....and there should be 2 or 3 screws holding the fog light assembly. I also found out that you could do a little adjustment to your fog lights by loosening the mounting screws and adjusting or aiming the assembly. Check the classifieds or Ebay for used fog light assemblies.

We had the same light (on the same side) break from road debris... we called the dealer and they had the parts in a couple of days and replaced everything (lens and light) for right around 100 dollars.

Thanks guys,
Just got it done and took 1 hr to replace it. Funny thing is the lense was secured on the housing by only 3 clips, never seen that b4 but pretty secure/tight, then the whole assembly is mounted on the body by 2 small little screws. I had to remove all 7 or 9 screws on the belly to get to the back. Very easy, I can do it y'all can do it too.
Retail for the lense: $42, WholeSale: $22. I paid $25 out the door. (Uncle has a body shop)
