Unhappy Broken Parking Light

I got into a small accident and my driver's side parking light cover is completely broken. The bulb is still intact but it is exposed. What's the easiest way to fix the cover? Do I need to buy an entire new headlight/parking light assembly? I can always take the car to the dealer but I was wondering if there was an easier DIY solution.. my car is a 94 .. any help would be appreciated!

I believe that you would have to get a whole new parking light assembly for that. You can't just replace the glass/plastic since it's a sealed unit. You may want to try taking a look at some bone yards for a used one. I'm sure that a replacement from the dealer would be over $300 + labor.

If you are refering to only the clear plastic corner piece
with a single wedge light bulb in it, you dont have a big
situation. Those can be purchased from your dealer, I
think around the price range of $40. Or you can try good
old e-bay. I saw them go on there for about $15. Just a
note, I am refering to the plastic light which joins to the
glass headlights, not the parking lights on the lower
bumper.

Yeah I'm talking about the corner light that is next to the headlight. Just $15 on ebay? I only saw the bumper lights on ebay but I'll look.. thanks for the advice. And $40 doesn't sound to steep from the dealer either, I'll check it out.
