Help! Broken side indicator

The amber strip light that is just at the base of the wheel well on my 04 MCS is broken :(. From the outside all is good but the area where the bulb socket twist into the housing has broken off (previous owner sadly). Is there any place online I can purchase a single one for the left side?

Thank you in advance!

Your "local" MINI dealer might be the best source (money aside) for something like this... Online there should be good sources. MossMini.com is a start. Good luck!
Honestly, go to - and subscribe to - MC2magazine.com - they have listings for all sorts of aftermarket dealers.

The only Mini dealer near me is about 2 hours away :(.

I am going to try a local place that sells aftermarket oem replacement parts and see if they chuckle at me.

Thank you for the tip.

Check this out:

If this is what you are talking about, $10 for OEM + shipping is not that bad...

Mine was also broken. I replaced it myself, the job is easy.
