I recently walked up to my car and noticed that the drivers side sidemarker light housing was loose. I touched it and one of the clips that holds it in place broke completely.

Im looking to buy the replacement.. is there a site where I can find the oem part num and such??

Here's the part I mean:

you could get it there or classic or your dealer should stock it, I think mini mania may caryy it also could do a WTB in the market place forum.

 

Are you after white or orange? I replaced the orange ones with white, so I have the orange ones sitting in a box in the garage....

 

Moss MINI has a couple of options, including smoked.

 

thanks everyone. I'm looking for a clear replacement.

was also wondering if there is a general place where we can find the "official" part numbers for MINI parts

The sidemarker is item #6 on this page:

I had the dealer warranty replace mine, the pressure hose for the headlight washers was improperly routed and pushed the light out and broke the clips in the process. I had to explain and show the technician where the problem existed. He said it was the first time he had seen it. :impatient

 

MGMRAM is right: if you're still under warranty they'll replace for free. If not, just use a dab of hot glue on the mounting surface. This actually provides a much more secure assembly (less rattling) ans is easy to peel off for maintenance. Besides, your new side marker will break within a short time as well. Mine did twice... now no problems at all.
