Source for Hood Mounted Driving Light Lenses?

Neighbor backed into my 2003 Cooper S and broke out the glass in one of those Dealer Installed OEM Driving Lights that sit up above the grill. Nothing wrong with the lamp, still works, just need a new glass lense. Lots of sites on Froogle say they sell just the lenses (about $15), when you type in Mini + Lights combined with Fog / Driving / Rally or some such, but when you call these places they never can tell me whether they'll fit these lamp housings.
Does anyone know who made these lamps for Mini? They don't say, and if you take one apart the only markings whatsoever is the "Au-lite" part# and rating for the bulb, but Au-lite didn't make the lamp housing, just the bulb itself. The dealer says they can sell me a new pair for $300. The local bodyshops I've called have said about the same. Any ideas?

Dig around on www.realoem.com The lamps are available individually to replace broken units. I don't think you can get a single lens, but you CAN buy a single lamp assembly. It'll be cheaper and it'll match.
