Indicator lens broken

Guys, my fiancee's stupid sister has reversed into my beloved MX-3! :evil:

'93 E-Spec V6 in Black. The bumber is damaged, but I think it will polish-out; the main damage is to the driver's-side front indicator unit. This unit is held in by one screw, has a clear lens on the front, and two bulb-holders at the rear: one for the sidelight and one (complete with orange insert) for the inidicator.

I have already called most breakers yards in Ireland, with no success, looking for a replacement. Maybe I could try the UK, but I was wondering if this unit is used on any other (more common) Mazdas, 323 etc. ?

The E-Spec MX-3 is very rare in Ireland - most are imported J-Specs.

The unit can be seen (with sidelight illuminated) directly below the headlight in this photo:

Just below this again is the front towing eye. Thank God it is there; I think more damaged would have been done otherwise!!!

Any suggestions on sourcing a replacement would be much appreciated.

If you can't source this part on your side of the pond, here is one alternative for a U.S. based supplier. g/l

I think there is an MX-3 in a breaker yard in my vicinity. I could check it out for you, but it may take some time.

Thanks guys!

After following that URL I can confirm that I need the beige housing as well as the lens.

$150 (not including shipping from US to Ireland) seems pricey!
I must be able to source from a breakers yard somewhere closer to home.

At least I know where I can buy them now if all else fails...

I'd still like confirmation if anyone knows if the same units can be found on other Mazdas.

Pete.
