Driving Light Housing

Yesterday, driving on the freeway, I had a rather large rock hit the bumper skin where my driving light is placed. Inspecting it later, I found the light dangling inside. Today I took the skin off and found that the light clearly broke off from the housing. Anyone know the part number of the housing that holds the driver's side driving light?

The whole light assembly is Part #63120137303

Look at this link:

If you busted a light, consider upgrading to Cibie Tango driving lights or Hella FF200's. I bought a set of Tangos to replace my OEM MINI lights and the difference was amazing!! You'll just have to get a price quote on the replacement light and determine whether you want to replace it, or upgrade.

Thanks for the reply but that's not what I'm actually talking about. I'm refering to the driving lights underneath the bumper skin.

After refering to the link you provided I may have misinterpreted what lights I have. I call them driving lights but apparently they are fog lamps.

I think the light is ok but the light broke clean off the housing.

You might not like what you find under there. In order to fix mine, I have to replace the whole front panel :(... NOT a fun job.

The housing is not one piece by itself but the whole front end?

If only the plastic housing is broken, then you will just have to replace the foglamp. Unfortunately, when the housing is hit just right, it also breaks the mounting points, the mounting points are part of the front panel. It is almost impossible to determine how extensive the damage is without removing the front bumper cover and the wheelwell liner. MINI did us no favors with this part of their design.
