http://www.sdpc2000.com/ (one of the sponsors) appears to be willing to ship internationally (FedEx), and they do have the turn signals, but they (and everywhere else I checked) don't seem to have the Formula fog lamps listed... Here are the part numbers I have; I'm pretty sure this is what the fog lamp one says, but maybe I'm reading the unclear print wrong (I also tried 10260983, 10280963, and 10260963, and no results on any of those either). Try calling or emailing SDPC, I bet they could get the fog lights for you even though it's not coming up on their website (and if they do, let me know if this ended up being the correct part number or not)

10280983 - 98-02 Formula fog light
10301406 - 98-02 Formula turn signal / parking light

I took mine out and put simple green in them with hot water and took a thin long soft brush and cleaned them. Now that the car sits in the garage I am going to buy new ones to put in.

Makki, sprechen Sie Deutsches? Wenn so, lesen Sie an. Zuerst Willkommen zur Familie, haben Sie Spaß mit Ihrem Auto! Halten Sie ein Auge auf Ihrem Getriebe und hinteres Ende, halten die Flüssigkeiten regelmäßig geändert. Sie tragen heraus schneller auf europäischen Geschwindigkeiten. Gutes Glück mit Ihren Lichtern auch.

Lol... Google says this is what he said:
Makki, speak you German? If so, read on. First welcomes to the family, have you fun with your car! If you hold an eye on your transmission and rear end, the liquids keep regularly changed. They carry out faster on European speeds. Good luck with your lights also.

LOL!! Yea, that was close enough! It's funny reading the literal translation though.
