Lost my clear corner on the highway!

What's up guys. well it seems that on my way to work I lost my driver's side clear corner on the highway. it was already a little loose but i didn't think it would just disappear like that. anyways they're easy to replace but i know i'm going to have a hard time finding the bulb socket along with the connector. does anybody have any spares lying around? thanks.

bro, I actually do have some brand new ones lying around here. I had ordered some crystal clear corners (97-99) but since I have a 96, I had to reuse my 96 wiring. Anyway, two issues with mine- I'm in MA and (2)would not be able to ship them out until Thursday (long work hours). If you dont have any luck with the for sale forums, let me know.

I secured mine to the housing using a c-clip. I'd like to see someone try to steal them.

I hit a 3 foot strip of truck tire on the highway at 90mph. It knocked out my bumper corner light, the wire didn't break but now it falls out if I hit a hard bump and dangles and bangs against the car. What a pain in the a$$

why am i not surprised, lol ! one of mine seems a bit iffy at times, heck im surprised it still holding on. sorry about that though. some would agree no corner light is better than the hazard county orange ones that come stock, so maybe your not that bad off ?
