<E36> Fog lights and covers

  
  I just returned from a great 3,200 mile trip to Montana and back (from 
  the San Francisco bay area), and my '95 325i performed wonderfully, 
  especially at speeds that are arguably legal in Montana.  The ASC+T 
  turned out to be useful in non-snow situations such as turning uphill 
  into a driveway on a dirt road at very slow speeds (< 5 mph), and also at 
  20-30 mph on badly washboarded gravel roads.  Of course, the car got 
  upgraded into a Bug-atti, but those colorful insect carcasses were 
  eventually washed off.
  
  Prior to the trip I had installed the rigid plastic fog light covers from 
  Bavarian Autosport, the ones that just press on and then stick out about 
  1/2" from the glass.  I also lost one of them prior to the trip (possibly 
  touching a cone at driver's safety school?  They're not very securely 
  held on...), and sure enough, that lens got shattered on the trip.
  
  What's a good source for a replacement fog light (although this one still 
  works)?  I'm also wondering if the 20-mil sheets from Griot's actually 
  work for stone protection.  The rigid cover is beginning to get cloudy 
  after just a few months; without it, the fog light is much prettier (but 
  not when smashed).
