Default Need dire help in finding a light replacement

Hello all, it is with great misfortune I write this post. Long story short, the other night I was in a mini-accident in my own driveway and the turn signal light on my driver's side of the bumper popped out. Now I cannot for the life of me find a replacement anywhere. I have searched everywhere, my own repair man can't offer many options. I was hoping someone here could help me locate the part. Attached are pictures of what I need replaced. As I have found plenty of these: http://www.******************.com/de...cid=productads which I also need, but that is not what I am looking for.

Using this picture just to clarify. If you can see on the turn signal located on the bumper, there is a longer light on the left side, this is not what I am in search of. It is that smaller outside light I cannot find.

Oh wow, getting close RA, That first link should only a single half of what I need which I have already found on a number of other sites. That link you gave me is the complete unit, but I need the amber, any idea where I could find that? Or do you think there would be any difference in car value if I simply replace both lights to clear?

It's harder to find the complete amber one, the clear is just an alternative route to go with etc and I don't see how it could affect the car value? Having a full complete set is better than missing one?

ask is anyone here is willing to sell you their piece. a second option is to scour ebay or your local junkyards and craigslist for a replacement.

a quick ebay search reveals this (hope the driver's side is what you need):

Yes, I just came to this conclusion after talking to my repair guy. If it doesn't really effect the value then it doesn't make much of a difference to me. If anything clear might look nicer imo. Thanks for the help all.
