Windscreen & foglight issues

Guys,

I have been annoyed at my windshield / windscreen since day one...

The passenger side glass is distorted, and anything you look at through the windscreen is distorted slightly.
It is a wave effect in the lower half of the passenger side.

Thanksfully, I pointed this out to BMW on the first service and they have agreed it is freaky and will replace the windshield under warranty.

I should have made the wife take it in sooner.

On the foglight - some rogue rock shattered the fog light (one of the adaptive lights).
The light still worked, but the glass was shattered like a bullet had hit it.

Bugger.
You cannot replace the cover glass.
$400 to replace the module!

Re broken fog light... I had three fog lights break on my previous accord. Honda charged around $280 for a simple non-active replacement (if I recall correctly ). Ebay replacements were dirt cheap albeit of lesser quality but from a distance nobody could tell.

$400 seems reasonable for active foglight.

I'll still want to find some cheap perspex shields - they are round, should be easy to find.

Anyone done something similar?
