Updating this thread.
Bit the bullet and bought a factory lens. Also bought new springs (because most of the DIY's mention that) BUT my springs were already updated. Not sure if it's because my car is a 2013 (late production) or because it's been changed before.
What was even more interesting is that the lens fit perfectly. Others were mentioning that you had to modify the lens to get it to fit. I guess I lucked out with my car so no mods necessary. Pretty straight forward and took very little time. No gotcha's at all.
One interesting observation was that the nuts on the original lens were really tight! To a point where I unscrewed the the mount out of the light. I have no idea why anyone would want to tighten it that much. In fact, I could finger tighten the nuts all the way down to the base and then I back off a bit hoping it'll prevent future cracking. Now I just hope it won't leak.
I did clean the opening of any residual dirt and dust.
Thanks again for all the advice and comments.
