Parking light lens & headlight trim ring replacement

It's just no fun being stoned these days...

In the last 2 weeks, I've had two radar-guided stones hit my '04 MCS. First one dented the top of the right headlight trim, and scratched the lens, in addition to leaving a small dent in the hood behind the ring.

Yesterday, my left turn signal started blinking much faster than normal, so I figured the bulb was gone or going. No such luck. The stone was still inside the housing, along with the remnants of the lens.

Question #1: Are the headlight lens and trim ring replaceable separately, or are they and expensive unit ? (And it is owner-fixable ?)

Question #2: Is the parking light lens a separate piece, or part of a complete unit ? Looks kinda hard to get at.

Finally, are these the kind of repairs that the dealership would do, or would they just farm it out to a body shop ? I think either way it's gonna cost me a few bucks...

Thanks for any suggestions or advice !

Hahahaha judging by the title and thread post together i figured some stoner broke your car or something

I THINK these are user-replaceable, but I'm not sure. Try checking a third-party site.
