Cracked foglight

Some of you at GTI Spring Festival might have noticed that I have got a bit of damage to my driver's side front foglight... well that is to say a stone on the M6 has gone and smacked it

leaving a crack across the front of the lense. I haven't had the fogs on as yet to see if the light is being defracted in any way (don't want them pointing all over the shop and dazzling people) but it will need replacing at some point. What are my options?

I was thinking of getting a pair of fogs to install so that they will match when installed - is it possible to get fogs that shine a whiter colour, as the OEM ones are very yellow

I don't want chavtastic fake xenons, or anything that is illegally bright, just wondered if they could be made whiter in colour to complement the HIDs

On the other hand... how cool would it be to remove the fogs altogether and indulge in some smoothing, like this Polo from the Santa Pod car park:

Oh yes, and how easy is it to remove those little honeycomb grilles and swap the fogs over? I can only see one screw holding each grille in place?

Cheers

Un-do the screw and pull it from the outer most edge, easy to take out

As infa-red says take out the screw you can see round side of honey comb grille.

Then the fog light held in with 3 philips head screw, take them out and thats it.
Oh yeah and disconnect multi plug

i wouldnt smooth it over like that though, i thought there were some sensors and an air feed behind the passenger side one
