Side scuttle turn signals

Is there a specific terms for these things? I need to replace both of them with either a smoked set or original clear. While removing them from the side scuttles the lens popped off the housing. I'm going to try crazy glue to get them back on. But that's never worked for me

I found some clear ones. Fender Mounted Turn Light is what they're calling them. I always thought to call it a Side Marker. And you already know the term Scuttle.

You may be able to find some smoked ones, if you search around,... I think eBay probably has some. My buddy who has a body shop can paint plastic lenses -wish I knew what kind of black paint he uses.. It's very thin and I think he mixes it with extra clear or reducer or something.

See photos for part numbers:

well I broke both of mine trying to put them back into the scuttles. I was so proud of my glue fix...

they don't seem to have them in black...

why do I feel like I need to buy everything from Moss Mini... I need all of the stuff!

I know what you mean, I've tried to glue 100 broken things in my life. It has only worked a few times it seems.

I've replaced both of mine - should have done them both at the same time. Try to catch it before they hang out the side of your car banging away on the paint for a couple of hundred miles.
