Default Cracked Rear Turn signal housing on S50

Chauk this up to the "I'm a moron category"....

Was out the other day looking over my brand spankty new S50. Wiggling things, seeing what's metal, plastic, etc.

To that end, I wiggled the rear turn signal a bit too hard (damn those steroids!) and cracked the plastic housing.



I'll let folks laugh for a spell....

I didn't break it comepletely off so I managed to secure it with a cable tie and some duct tape.

Can I replace this part myself? It looks like it is held on with a phillips screw underneath. Any idea where I can get a cheap one? I'm also thinking these are crap parts anyway and maybe go with some metal ones...

The embarrassment is killing me....

Any thoughts would be appreciated....
