Not a gearhead by any means, but I'm hoping I can just buy a cheap lens replacement instead of the entire light. Would something like this work and hopefully not be a bitch to install?

Welcome to the Forum!
Sadly you cannot upload photo here until you get something like 10 post.
As for the lamp from Amazon, sure but do not expect much quality out of something like that, so it might not even fit properly.
Have you contacted your insurance company? If you have full coverage it would be worth contacting them just to see what they can do for you.

OP, go to www.realoem.com and enter the last 7 characters of the car’s VIN. Hit enter and bookmark the page. Scroll down to light and get the part # for the lamp assembly. Then head over to fcpeuro and buy a quality aftermarket assembly.

Looks like the sheet metal is deformed into the light housing opening. Might be tough getting old light out, new light in as result.
I second the pick-n-pull thought as you will get a feel how the light comes out and it will be BMW OE (most likely.)
