It's not you it's me

I've been on quite the destructive streak...I have an '05 MCc and a few months ago I was backing up and hit something in my own dang garage and broke my passenger side tail light (yes, I have PDC and that's how I figured out it was blown and I needed a new power steering fan). I've been looking to replace it but I can't seem to find the right one all the ones I find have yellow and mine have no yellow. Is this something I'm gonna have to get from the dealer? Next up I totally destroyed the glovebox. Initally a small demon (2 yr old boy) tried to use it as a seat and the left side came off the track. Then a few days ago I couldn't get the darn thing to open and then when I finally got it to open the latch on the inside came off and for the life of me I can't figure out how to reassemble it. At this point I fer sure need a new glove box. Is this another dealer thing or can I replace this myself? And where do I get one. My poor mini is looking so busted like I just don't care with a broken tail light and a taped up glove box (which sucks cause it's so hot the tape doesn't quite hold and it just falls open) but I do care and wanna try to fix these things without breaking the bank.

check out the market area. also look at the regions section and see if there is a club in your region. Many times they can also help. If you cannot find help, many MINI dealers will give a discount for being a part of a local MINI club. Just some suggestions. For the tail light, you will need an 05-06 model year unit. This may also be the same for the glove box.
