Default Rear bumper light

So today as I was going to school this woman did not stop at the stop sign and tapped my behind (Tbone style). Luckily she wasn't speeding, just behind super stupid behind the wheel, but anyways minimal dmg done to my baby. Driver side bumper slightly came off and some paint came off of it as well, some of her paint got on it, and my rear bumper guard got most dmg,so it's bent along with messed up rear fog / bumper light.was able to fix everything real quick by myself in under an hour, just need to touch up my bumper, but the rear bumper light unit is broken. The glass didn't break, but the holders where you put the screws to hold it on one place cracked so basically I need a new unit. I checked online they have them for almost 300$, that's fairly expensive, I was wondering if it's possible to somehow fix it or maybe somewhere get it for cheap. Contacting insurance won't help cuz I'm on 1000$ deductible and the dmg is way less, they won't even bother and this ***** didn't even want to hear about her fixing it cuz she was yelling it's my fault for having a green light and her argument was " but I slowed down, you should've yielded me", she's got something in her head so I don't wanna deal with that bs. If anyone knows how to fix it at home so it holds where it should or somewhere I can get the whole unit for cheap please let me know, my light is working fine, it's only left side of it that has a broken holder, it still holds on the other side with the 2nd screw.

Try contacting the folks at http://www.rancholexusrecycling.com/ and maybe you will get lucky. Or take it to a couple of body shops for professional opinions.
