Help me buy side front light

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 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.
1. pic of broken light

The front sidemarkers DO NOT flash when your turn signals are engaged, they are continuously on when the parking lights or headlights are on.

OP you just need to replace the front left sidemarker with a new one. Most eBay sellers have these for sale as "turn signals", but they are not. Watch out for the eBay ones, sometimes they aren't the same as the picture they post. Make sure you get OEM parts, not DEPO. If you want your light to be replaced with an OEM part, you're going to pay out of your ass. I've never looked at the cost of replacing the front ones, but I'm not surprised that it's $80.

^It's all good man, no biggie.

People here on Acurazine have wired them to blink when their turn signal is engaged, but they don't come that way from factory.
