On the Interstate a baked potato sized rock flew off a dump truck driving in the other direction and smashed the driver side headlight.  
That was three years ago and I have not been able to find a replacement light.  
I have gone to dealers and to two junk yards and looked online. But no luck.  
I got this car from my Great Aunt. It has 50,000 miles on it and I love it.  
It’s my first car and I would love to preserve it. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.  
[Also: my great aunt threw away the CD changer in the trunk, so I don’t have that either]

I have had good luck with Desert Valley Auto Parts in Phoenix, Arizona. They have a website and will ship parts all over the nation. I could locate parts for my 1978 Oldsmobile Cutlass through them that I couldn’t find locally here in Indiana.
