    Default Can't get fog light lens alone pre-1/1994 production?

    So my right fog lens has been cracked... which didn't bother me till I went through two $10 bulbs and finally realized that water had been sitting inside the assembly

    The problem now is that apparently I can't buy just the fog light lens if the car has a production date before 1/1994 (mine is 9/1993). Is this because it is not possible to install a new lens only or can I install one of the Hella lenses designed for post-1/1994 cars?

    Or to solve the issue simply, I could follow Ken B's recent post and ask, is there anyone out there with an extra fog light lens from pre-1/1994 production they'd like to sell for $20 + shipping?

    In return, here's a link for a good deal on post-1/1994 production Hella lenses ending soon on ebay for anyone who's interested... two lenses worth $100 going for $46 with shipping. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-E...spagenameZWDVW

    the lens pre 94 doesnt exist because the pre 94 fogs are a sealed unit.

    Yup, when I cracked a lens on our '91 I had to replace the fog light assembly.

    I am pretty sure that BMP Design sells replacement lenses for pre-1994's

    My 1991 535i has sealed fog lamp units. There are at least two different styles of lenses associated with the assemblies. The first one I got from Vines didn't match the original so we swapped and got the correct one. I got a Chinese fog lamp lens and assembly from eBay for my wife's E38 when she was having a run of broken lenses AND assemblies. Looked original and fit perfectly at 1/3 of stock price.
