Replacement lenses for OEM driving lights

Anybody know where/how to source just a replacement lens for the OEM driving lights? One of mine caught a rock and has a nice 1/2" hole in it. I looked on realoem.com and they only show the light as a unit with housing and lens together for *gulp* almost $140.

As an alternative, I've also been considering upgrading to PIAAs or Hellas as I am not impressed with the extra lighting provided by the OEM kit. Can I use the existing frame and wiring to use an aftermarket light kit?

I'm guessing you might have to buy the whole unit unless they have separate part numbers.

Next time, I highly recommend applying clear bra protection; I bought some from nam sponsor autoclearguard. The number of pits in them from the first few months got me scared. Since applying I've never had to put the covers on and the lights have been well protected for years.
