cracked fog light cover. replacement?

I have an '03 ES and one of my foglights has been taken out be a rock.
It was just cracked for a while, but eventually water got in there and the lamp is shot.

Questions:
1) I shouldn't have a problem ordering a new cover from the dealer. But how to replace it? I'd rather not pay labor. In the manual it says to see dealer for fog light replacement.

2) I was thinking about replacing the fog light bulbs with yellow bulbs (if someone has tried this and it doesnt look gay?) or higher performance bulbs (without risking frying anything). I onnly use my fogs when I'm the only car on a windy road or if it's heavily raining. I'm not one of those ******* who drives with them on all the time.

thanks for the help

IMO, I don't like yellow fogs, but hey, I'm a ******!

You know, there should be an aftermarket source for yellow foglights. Remember that guy who was selling the beautiful P5 on E-bay (and hoping to get 13k for it) with the billet grille, massive stereo, et cetera? He had 'em if I recall. Don't see a dealer unless you are trading in the car on a new Mazda3.
