foglight and deer collision

A deer ran into my driver's side corner and busted the Hella light. Also took out a short section of the narrow fiberglass strip nearby. Any suggestions on finding replacement light/lights(I have the piece of strip)?

Some members have replaced the ancient Hella halogen lights with high power LED lights.  Greatly improved illumination!

I have replaced the Hella's with LED's and still have the old ones.  There is a slight crack in the glass but no water has got in.

They are yours if you PM an address.

DeAr collision? You ran into your DW?? Or was it a deEr collision?
Up here, years ago, a woman called the local radio station and complained about the highway department. She had requested they move the deer crossing sign down the road a bit so the deer would cross down there and not get hit and end up dead in her yard.

A sad poem: It's called "Sometimes I Miss Her".

I ran into my ex-wife the other day
I backed up and ran into her again
Sometimes I miss her.
