Default smoked lenses, red bulbs

Ok so I am in my camp sight at Mountainfest, look down at my bike and one of the smoked lenses are laying on the ground. It seems like either myself or a passenger may have kicked it getting off the bike. So one of the ears are broken and it will not stay tight. This also caused water to get in and kill the bulb. purchased these in a kit off sorgy's on ebay and it seems like they are no longer on ebay. The red bulb can be ordered from a local auto parts store but it will be another cheap one.

Question is, does anybody know where I can order some good red 1157 bulbs, and maybe find a replacement smoked lense?

I have the 1157R LEDS on my Iron & have had no problems at all, picked them up at Autozone. I do wish they were a little brighter though behind the smoked lenses

I have red LED bulbs in my rear turn signals that I got from Auto Zone and I love them. They have like 20 LED's or something like that. I love the fact that they are clear when off.

I ended up pulling the front ones out, and puting back the amber ones in. I need a load EQ to stop the faster flashing.
