The light on the right is a projector type fog light. The fog on the left is the free form light that uses a 9005 bulb whereas the projector uses an H1 bulb.

If the projector is still good you can buy new lenses from BavAuto for $50. Part numbers 63 17 1 384 233(left) and 63 17 1 384 234(right).

If you want. You can replace the broken lens with acrylic lens. I replaced the fog lights $$$ once already and 6 months later it cracked again to rocks. So, I found this website www.bmwlight.com that offered acrylic replacements lens. It has been over 5 years now. No yellowing of the lens and it seem to be stronger than the oem glass. It has held up great.
