Well coming out of Walmart today I noticed my rear side turn signal was next to the car in about a million peices so I need a new one, there are no marks on the car around where it goes and the fixture itself looks ok just lense so it makes me almost think it just fell off.
So I am wondering is this something that would be covered under the warrenty or something I need to buy, if I need to buy anyone know where to get another one? Looks like it just pops on.

Are you talking about the lense that is on the rear bumper on the side, bout 5" long, 2" wide and has rounded corners? Or are you talking about the tail light? If it is the first one, its not a turn signal, its a running light, and if it did just " fall off" it is so close to the ground, it wouldnt have shattered into a million pieces. If it is the tail light, then look for signs that the glue came apart and the lense came off. That is gonna be the first thing a dealer is gonna look for, signs that its not a defective part.
You can try looking here under the claissified listings, or try Ebay. If those 2 dont work, you may have to start calling local junk yards for the piece. I would get the dealers price first, it may save you a lot of headaches looking for a part that isnt availible in junk yards yet.

Sorry yeah that is what i mean the running light, the reason it was in a million peices is because a car must have ran over it, it was about 3 feet from the car so I am assuming while I was in walmart it fell off with all the heavy wind somehow and someone ran over it.
Funny thing is I come out and open the back and look over at the lense thinking 'poor guy, cant park your car anywhere anymore' I paused for about 10 seconds and said 'Hey that looks familiar! Oh shyt its mine' lol...
I just figured it may be under warrenty as it is day 6 since it has been off the lot and just kinda fell off.

Have the dealer take a look at it. If your nice about it, and play dumb, you may just get a new lense. Play on the dealers sympathy, if not, the lense cant be that expensive.

1: Yes I did think it 'fell' off, there was nothing wrong with the paint at all so whatever hit it must have hit it right on the light only so I lucked out there.
2: I pay for everything myself but I have something that is 100x worse than parents, its called a wife.. If you don't have one now you will know what I am talking about when you do.
Anyhoo.. I got the light set me back about $30 bucks and I just need to figure out how to pull the old one out, anyone ever replaced one of these before maybe have some tips?
