|  2005 SLK350 with AMG - fog light replacement My right side fog light got center punched and smashed the glass. What does it take to replace, anybody got some directions? What is a fair price for replacement lamp? Can only the glass be replaced? The light still functions. Any help would be wonderful. Thanks |

| Thanks for you quick reply but I am not sure what you mean by AMG and standard. I have an SLK350 with the AMG body kit. The fog lamp is round, about 3 inches across. It is not the cornering light. |

| Roy, The AMG fogs are around $180 and you cannot just buy a replacement glass front as it's a sealed unit. Any MB dealer can order you the part. if they say its 20-30$ then there ordering you the cover which can be replaced on non amg lights. they've done that with me once and I have the 55. yours are the same as below then sorry it's not cheap fix.

| Thanks Easty - your picture looks to be the same as mine. Can anyone confirm the part numbers and a place to find the replacement. The dealer just quoted me $155 for the unit. I have checked a few parts places and can't seem to locate it anywhere. Again thanks for the help. |

| I just had to replace one of the foglights on my SLK just over a week ago. The light was hit by a small rock and shattered. Yes, as others are saying, the entire unit needs to be replaced. The part at my dealer was $148. Installation was about $80. The foglight was covered under my car insurance as a comprehensive claim so they will be reimbusing me for all but my deductible. |

| I just had to replace one of mine for the same reason (rock). I got mine through a website (www.carpartswholesale.com) for $68 and installed it myself in about 30 minutes. It's an easy replace. Mine is a R170, but I think your setup is similar. Mike |

| I found the AMG type fogs online from MB of Eugene, OR for $123. Not much of a savings over regular dealer price when you factor in shipping. Incidentally, one of my fogs is leaking / dirty on the inside and the dealer is replacing it this week under warranty. |
