Front Fog smashed

Hi Just noticed that the n/s front fog light on my 2010 xs has been smashed. Probably by a stone on the motorway. Do I need a new unit, or just a new lens? I don't know if they are a complete unit or not. Also is it a simple DIY job to replace? A link to best place to buy would be really nice Very Happy
I'm guessing if I'm just replacing one I will need proper LR so it matches brightness?
Thanks!

Easy DIY job, but shop around for the light, complete unit though, not just a lens, just prise the surround out with a smallish flat blade screwdriver, undo three large Phillips Head screws and remove the unit. You can pick them up for under £20 on auction sites or up to £70 from the dealer.

Thanks. Any advice on the quality of aftermarket vs Lr? Also which manufacturer made the genuine ones E.g Valeo etc?

Thanks for the offer, I wish I'd waited but have placed an order now online. For reference to anyone else in the same predicament I'm pretty confident the oem part is Valeo 088899. That's what I've ordered anyway £44 delivered. Looks like it is a Jag part too. Fingers crossed it fits.

I have brand new FL2 ones here in Switzerland.

Idea will be visiting London in October so if anyone interested I can bring them with me. Price GBP£30 each.
