#4 lens in your pic is broken but bulb is ok.. plus the bulb is out on driver side, side marker. so you have to disassemble like in your pic to do it?

the part is readily available from the dealer or other sources

http://new.minimania.com/web/item/NM.../InvDetail.cfm

it is an easy DIY with simple tools: in both the front and the rear you'll probably need to pull the wheel well liner, but that's just a few screws and they can be pulled away from the needed area as they are thin plastic.

I've no idea what you are trying to say: #4 lens in your pic is broken but bulb is ok.. plus the bulb is out on driver side,

i meant i need to buy that part u link for my rear passenger side bulb is working.. AND i also need the bulb on my driver side, fixed coz it is not lighting up. I can't DIY that though. Just asking if you guys know someone who can do it for reasonable price.The #4 part the cheapest i saw online was $16.95. bulb was $1.95 - i can order those but i can't install it myself, patrick mini qouted me $180 just for broken lens fix alone. wow. and so i hope whoever is the douche that hit and run my car while parked in woodfield mall, i hope your karma gets you REAL bad. there's no escaping karma and i cant believe i will spend almost $200 for something that I didn't break!

#4 is super easy to pop out, you can do it yourself! you don't have to take it apart I am 99% sure.
