back lamp cover replacement

frankief · 12-11-2007

I was replacing a burned out headlamp bulb. I removed the black cover behind the lamp holder. (placed it on top of the radiator area.) replaced the lamp, and before I could remember, closed the hood. @#_(@#*$@_#)$(

well didn't break the entire black cover, but the plastic brackets that help hold it in place snapped off. (At present I taped it into place. Now, I'm looking for a replacement. (any idea as to what this part may be called? or where to go looking for one? (besides the dealership?) any assistance would be most appreciated.

thanks, guys!
