The right front blinker on my El Camino Quit working. some one tried to solder the bulb holder on to the housing, It did not work. I cannot find a new housing or bulb holder. Any Idea where I can get replacement parts?

do you want a used one? I have one that the wires were cut in the middle of the line; I think I know where i last left it, if you want it i'll look for it.

its one of these right?

If a used part will fit your needs, you can place an ad in classifieds or check ebay. 70 Monte Carlos use the same housing. Here's one (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1970-MONTE-CARLO-Front-Bumper-Directional-LIGHTS_W0QQitemZ160033739325QQihZ006QQcategoryZ140 742QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem) currently running on ebay.

I found it, but the wires are cut about 1 1/2 inch past the plastic wire cover. The housing is a bit dirty and needs refurbishing, but if you want to cut the wires from the one you have and splice on to this one, then it should work fine. The inner area where the bulb resides is in good shape.

I'll let you have it free, but I would appreciate your paying shipping. I'll take a picture, but I have to get my camera from work first.

If you don't want it, it won't hurt my feelings.
