Question What is this part? FC Front Bumper Piece

There's a piece of white plastic/glass on the bumber that looks like it might cover a light except there aren't any electronics behind it? As you can see the car is missing it's passenger side piece.
I searched around with reflector/light/indicator/lamp and didn't see any mentions of it.
The guy I bought the car from said he didn't know how to find the part; I've noticed that a lot of pictures of FCs have them both off, perhaps because it looks better than having just one like I do. But I think I would rather have two instead of just taking one off and leave it in the trunk or glove box or something.
Might seem like small bananas but this car actually still has all the trim on the sides so I'd kind of like to piece it back together as much as I can.
Missing Front Plastic Piece

EDIT: I believe I finally found it scrolling through the manual. I think it's the FB01-51-360B. But why is it called a turn signal lens when the turn signal is the orange plastic piece and not the clear one? Is there supposed to be a light behind there?

Its called a Flash-To-Pass lens. They aren't too hard to find, nor are they particularly expensive. I suggest looking in classifieds around you for part-outs. Otherwise 13betc.com sells plastic replacements (they don't match the OEM look though, so you'll need a pair: 13BETC Flash-To-Pass).

If you get a set locally, you might find that the studs that retain it into the bumper are missing or falling off. I repaired mine by JB welding new nuts in, and they have been fine for over a year now.

EDIT: If you really want a new part, this is the appropriate listing on Atkins: Atkins Flash-To-Pass
