Angry clear corner fell off

So my drivers side corner light fell off somehow while I was driving. Im sure many others have lost the passenger corner light and may have an extra drivers side one??

When installing your corners - insert them with one hand and with the other reach inside the engine compartment and depress the locking tab on the corner unit. Push the assembly intill its fully in and then release the tab, it should lock in place. If it hasn't then you'll then need to jiggle it a bit.
