I bought a 951 fog lens several months ago from thepartsbin.com I think. Cheapest I could find. One side costs double the other for some reason. I think I paid about US$90 for the cheaper one.

Bosch dosen't separate the glass from the rest. Actually the only things they separate are the plastic endcaps and the inner seal for some damn reason. The part numbers are:
1 301 014 077 - seal
1 305 540 939 - group of plates (endcaps)
1 307 022 047 - upper/lower beam headlamp
1 305 200 705 - the whole magilla
1 301 014 077 - seal
1 305 540 939 - group of plates (endcaps)
1 307 022 047 - upper/lower beam headlamp
1 305 200 705 - the whole magilla

On the weekend I saw two 951's with the euro fog/driving light units installed. They are so much better looking than my fog/reflector lights that I am just waiting for mine to crack. Also, with relays and 100W halogen bulbs, the driving lights are reported to be very functional.

Hey Don, yes I have the Euro 100W relay DL setup in my 951S. Also have the ECode Bosch H4 setup 55/60W for the headlights.
But I ordered the Cibie system from Iceshark along with his harness, new adj reg. and 90/100W bulbs to REALLY brighten up the road. I'll call you up when they come in a few weeks.
I'm pretty pleased with the 100W setup, but I know what proper lighting and lenses can do. I used to have a Peugot 604 sedan in the mid 70's (don't ask me why), but those big square Cibie lights were pretty effective with only 55W bulbs - huge reflectors and when I added a pair of Bosch pencil beam driving lights, I swear they could light up the night like nothing else. DR, High beam combo lit up the country roads like it was daylight - almost 3/4 miles away! Plus those __/ __/ cut offs on the main beams really helped to ease the night time eye strain at high speeds.

If you wire the driving light side with heavy wire including a relay, make sure the alternator is in top shape, then stick in 100 watt bulbs you will be tossing out more lumens than true HID arcs.
It is really impressive with a good set of headlights - you will light up signs over a mile down the road.
