front turn signal housing

anyone know where i can get a replacement for my front turn signal housing at a decent price? both of mine are cracked due to age and i want to replace them. i don't want to go to a nissan dealer since i know they will charge me wayyy too much. thanks

the ones in the bumper?

buy them from a junkyard. expect to pay about $10-$25 each for them.
dunno what the dealer price is for them.

when you find out, let me know though.. both of mine are cracked too.

I got one of those lenses from Courtesy Nissan for $19 and change, arrived the same week. Pretty good deal and good service.

yep the ones in the bumper. my lense are scratched but still ok i guess. when i took the entire housing off for cleaning and to replace the burnt bulbs, there's this crack on the back of it. i'll see how much the entire thing costs.

if the back of the housing is cracked, you can probably fix it with some model glue or super glue... when i got into an accident the entire housing shattered into a bunch of tiny pieces. i just rebuilt it with glue and duct tape and voila - cheap and easy

is it the same faded clear look? I wish they had some that might match the clear corners.

yeah it's just the same type as stock... came in an OEM Nissan box. you might be able to take off/separate the "cloudy" part if it's 2-sided but i don't remember if it's just one pressed piece... if you're un-lazy enough you could probly fabricate some with a jigsaw and something like plexiglass except thinner. might be a good experiment
