Default '80 -'82 Parking Lights - Where R they?

Anyone have a good source for '80-'82 parking lights? I found an NOS right side but can't locate a left side. You'd think that as often as these things get rock chipped/broken, etc. that someone would be making replacements butI keep seeing the "discontinued" tag on my usual parts sites....

By the way, the "parking lamps" are the grill mounted (forward facing) lamps as opposed to the marker or fender mounted lamps (which everyone seems to have.)

Thanks for any help.

I talked to them and they thought that they had a supplier, but apparently their supplier isn't supplying... change of heart or something. Anyway, they don't have any stock....

Default Got rid of mine

Got rid of the grilles and lights on mine. Going to sink in some slick custom lights when I find the ones I like.

Have you tried Dr. Rebuild...they carry hard to find parts.

Ric - Thanks for the suggestion, but let's just say the "Doc" and I aren't on the same page....

Default Tail Lights

We talked to Mid America over a year ago about the problem. They were going to look into manufacturing taillights for 78-82 corvettes. I have not seen anything further about the subject. We finally had to use the "bubble" lights on Project Shark Attack, but found we could cut out the middle portion to fit in 50 watt outside 12 volt lights to use as built in backup lights. They work great.
