Cracked fog light.

Try E-bay.
I just bought new glass lenses for the headlights on the E38 ($80/pr). They are the OE Bosch pieces.

The dealer will only sell the whole headlight assy for ~$320 each.

You never know what you'll find. Might luck out.

I bought from Tischer. 20% or so off BMW list for CCA members. Circle or Pacific will probably have better pricing since you're mail order anyway.

I agree with that. I get most of my stuff from Pacific at a pretty big savings.

Circle's prices are nothing special these days. I think they've creeped back up and they're hoping nobody will notice.

Clear bras for the lights?

I was actually going to suggest that.

http://www.xpel.com/ has them for ~$40 for all the lights (headlights and fogs) for E46's

Other's are available. I have them on my Yukon and they still look brand new (the paint protection is there as well and has worked great also).

$62.

Wow, thanks Rgal!

I might as well get the Xpel + the fog light replacement if it all is going to cost around $100.

EDIT: I think those are the prices for the regualr 330i fog lights not the M-technik foglights.

Like TBM3, I have stone guard on both my fogs and headlights. It's a thick plastic film and it would take a lot to crack my foglights with it in place.

I had replaced one foglight or the other every 6 months or so prior to putting the stone guard on. Now it's been well over two years without any damage.

Now I regret not doing this (for the lights) when I first got the car.

I cannot find stongard for headlamps/foglights. I'm sure I am just not seeing it though.

Maybe I ought to ask for samples directly from the 3M rep as an engineering request.
