Default Part number for parking light housings in front bumper?

Anyone know the part number for the parking signal housings for a t/a. Mine both leak to hell, blow the bulbs every time it rains, and sometimes when the sprinklers get them at night. I looked in the catalog on gmpartsdirect but I couldn't find them. Can anyone help? Thanks

Oh well, found some on ebay. Carpartswhole was the seller if anyone else ends up needing any, they were about $21 a piece.

Lmao, shipping was like 27 total. Kinda shitty, but they sell for 10 dollars a piece more on his site so that's probably his little scam to get full price for them. Still about what I would have paid from gmpartsdirect, if I could have found them on there. Heard they ran about 30 - 35 dollars each.

I have been needing to replace mine for a while now. I think I found them on GMpartsdirect, but it doesn't specify whether they are for a base model bird or a T/A. The total with shipping would be $65.90. I think I'll spend the extra $10 and go with the guy you mentioned on eBay since I know his are the ones I need. Thanks for the info.

Yeah. I think I've gone through 10 bulbs in the past two months. It's burned out right now. I might just leave it like that until the new housings come in.

If you take some clear silicone and seal up that vertical 0.015" wide slit (slide your fingernail across it, you will find it) that GM designed into the face of the lense your problem will be cured.

In my case, there are several vertical cracks in each housing.
