Side Marker Light Replacement

The lens popped off of the side marker turn signal light, and I was just wondering if it's possible to replace just the oval light or do I have to replace the whole housing? If just the first, where would a good place be to purchase a new one? The light still works, if I could just buy another lens that would be awesome.

The lens is not replaceable, but the light fixture certainly is.

Scroll through, and take your pick:

I re-attached mine with a thin bead of silicone sealer, which will probably last longer than the factory glue.

Kaydee,
swapping the lens/housing is very simple. It's a little nerve-racking forcing the complete side marker assembly off of the body, you're going to feel like your about to break something. But it comes right off. If your willing to pay for shipping(I'm on the Right Coast), and they'll fit yours, I just swapped both lens on my 2009 R56. Depending on where you're at, it may be cheaper to buy from Amazon though.

PM me if interested.
