Default tombstone tail light piece broken

Hi I have a 05 softail deluxe and I was wondering if anybody knows if I can just buy the plastic piece that bolts to the fender without buying a whole new tailight? I'm doing a softbrake License Plate Relocator and when I unscrewed the three allen screws they all broke pieces of the plastic piece. this is the only pic I could find, its the one that holds the light bulb itself. please let me know if you can help.

I don't think you are going to be able to buy just that part; check your H-D Dealer. You might try eBay for a used light assembly.

Coyote is right... You can only get the full assembly from HD.. It's a little pricey.

Ebay is the way to go.

Are you talking about the gray piece that you put the three screws in?
