Headlamp glass, from where?
Small chip in the glass, worried about moisture getting in...
Dealer says 3000 euros and have to replace whole unit.
Me no likey.
Where can I get the lense/glass? Linksies please

Don't expect it's a separate part. Could consider a broken or defective light from eBay, stick it in the oven to melt the glue and swap it over.
Lots of how-to videos on YouTube about how to do this with plastic headlight covers!

Well you don't mention the year or which side but in the US, rockauto sells the Hella without active lighting for $735.

In previous years, you used to be able to buy headlamp covers for about $50-$100 from China. But I'm guessing it's probably too new for anyone to be making those yet. You could also take it to a glass shop that replaces windshields, in the US, they can fix small chips/cracks in the glass.
