You can't just buy the red lense, when you take it apart you will see that the lense is molded together with the light. Its a bit pricey but not bad compared to how much the dealer would charge you to replace it

According to Parts.com, old number is 0956, superseded by 1056. I just looked, because mine recently cracked down the middle. Now super-glued. Cheesy, but it's holding 'til I get a new one. no kidding.

Just got the part and did the replacement. What an easy job.. ~15min. What an odd design, yet at the same time pretty smart. I only hand tightened the nuts which flexed the metal bracket.. didn't want to over tighten.

Jerry's numbers are correct. The new part number is 1056 which is what I received from parts.com.

Think I'll spread more super-glue all over it. My front bumper/spoiler has cracks held together with super-glue, too. I bought a case of glue, just in case a fender falls off. Duct tape just doesn't stand up to the weather, and can get you a ticket for littering, but it IS silver!
