Replace Left turn light...do I need, etc...

Hello,

After the success of fixing my power windows that would not go up...
I may attempt another fix. A man hit my car, andI need A left front turn light,
the left front molding, and something called a rubber side cover bracket.
I see where I can easily buy the turn signal and molding. I may have to
hunt a bit for the other part.
Is it fairly easy to remove the old, cracked turn signal and put on a new one?
One site said I also have to order 2 O Rings and 2 #1157 bulbs.
Could these O rings still be attached and in good condition?
Here is a picture of the missing molding, light, and the rubber piece below with
the tear in it. Thanks for any advice - Linda

It looks like you can change all those parts and take some rubbing compound or polish and buff the scuffs of the painted area. If you have areas needing touch up paint you can get high quality paint made to match your car and put it on carefully with an art brush, covering just the scuffed area and make it look decently without being out too much $.

Order two turn signal?

Thanks...one site mentioned that I might want to get both turn signals for
the front, that a new one would be very different in color to the other
one...

Thanks...what kind of Paint to touch up?

Thanks...I've got a scratch, very thin, but noticeable, on the hood.
What type of paint would I get to try and touch this up?..
I assume I'd have to also get white paint, to add to any blue paint to
reach the oxidized color?
