Front side lights

Hi guys!
My driver side front light is broken. Mechanic who was repairing my car said he called dealership and asked them about light, and they said it costs $80 for a light He didn't order it, and said I can buy it online and install it in 10 seconds.
Yesterday I looked on ebay, and saw several types of lights. Almost all of them saying it is "TURN SIGNAL SIDE MARKER LED LIGHTS", BUT on my car these front side lights are not turn signals (am I wrong?).

Guys, may be you know what should I order for my 2006 Acura TL.

Thanks!

p.s. pics




p.s.s. sorry for cross-post

You can either rebuy oem (look for used on ebay...they're a lot cheaper) or you can swap all four out for depo sidemarkers for about the same price (80). Only potential issue is the fact that the depos don't click well into the panels.

No, the side markers are not blinkers.

Thanks!

If they don't click well, how do I attach them?

Who knows....... I think there is a way you can wire them to work as blinkers.
