( Same on the fog lights )
The original tooling for these units may just be sitting on a shelf, or they may have been scrapped by now.
The trouble is that for a large company to take them from storage, inspect them and run them for a a day to make some is not economically viable unless the cost can be regained with considerable profit.
CIBA was the OEM manufacturer I believe. Phone them.
