I'd see if they don't cost an arm and a leg at the dealer (if they aren't discontinued either). If not, check Ebay. Don't get the cheapest one you can find either I can guarantee it won't fit right. Another idea is to check the classifieds on the forum a lotta people part their cars out. And you may have better luck calling it a turn signal housing.

Got mine at an auto parts store. Don't remember which one, it was like 7 years ago.

The real hard part...is putting the new one in.
