yup, you need the entire light assembly, about $2k for the set and I believe you need to take the front bumper off to replace...

But the point being, you're spending the $2,000 but all you're really changing is reflector color.

Well.... the nice thing about it being so expensive... is that when I get mine... few others will have them, making my car all the better.

Absolutely true.
This is the very reason I hope the new M3 is priced upwards of $70,000. It may not sell well for BMW at that price, but for those who buy one, it makes ownership that much more enjoyable, in my opinion.
