Side Marker housing needed...

If anyone has one spare(!) - maybe from installing the euro bumper strip, please let me know...

I am not sure of the part. Its not the side marker housing (e.g like buying the clear side markers), or the bulb. Its the part the bulb 'sits' in.

Thanks.

wait- are you talking about the socket in which the glass bulb goes into? if so- i don't have that.

i was thinking you meant the plastic piece that the bulb AND socket connect to on the back side of the lense.

Hello,

Well, I'm not exactly sure what part it is by name, but basically its the bulb holder - and has the actual wires connected to it...

Do you have that?

(thank you)

You might actually find it cheaper at some electronics store; if you are inclined to attach the sockets to the holder. Otherwise, by your description so far, you are asking for a wire harness.

Thanks guys...

The reason I need this part is because this 'housing' was broken on my car when i got it (used). The wiring is ok, the problem is that the part the side marker housing connects to (plastic) has snapped. Therefore to attach the bulb housing to the side marker housing, i have to use electrical tape (and its a pain in the butt!)
