Default Broken DRL/turn signal light

Noticed my DRL was cracked and got water in it today when I washed my car. This of course resulted in a non functioning light. So it looks like I need to replace the whole light assembly.

Do they make an aftermarket replacement or is this pretty much a dealer only item?

Any tips on removal of the light (whole light, not just the bulb) would be appreciated. Looks like it will have to be removed from underneath but I'm not 100% certain on that.

Thanks.

If you're planning to remove the entire assembly you'll have to take off the front fascia/nose. There are these 3 push-pin thingies that bolt the center of the fascia/nose to the underside of the body; I don't know how to get those off...

The whole front nose has to be removed just to replace the light? WOW that sucks. Hopefully there's another way.......
