Question Replacement Shroud Underside of Headlights

I bought a 350Z Roadster used roughly a year or so ago. Soon it will need to go through inspection, but the passenger side low beam xenon headlight is now out. Replaced the bulb and it did not help, so the ballast is probably shot from moisture.

Yes, this is the root issue I need help with. I am missing 2 of the 3 parts that shield the area beneath the front bumper and above the front wheels from road moisture. As a result, my passenger side headlight got water in it. Where can I find aftermarket replacements for this? Before spending the money to repair what is damaged from moisture in terms of electronics, replacing the shielding so to speak seems like a good idea.

And yes it the wheel liner. Did you cut it out because of a new bumper?
If its missing you can buy them online all day. Cheapest I've seen is 95 bucks.

Yes it is missing the passenger side wheel liner (front half). The passenger side light has not been cracked open to my knowledge. I always assumed the lack of a wheel liner is how water got inside the housing. When it is all said and done, I pretty much need a passenger side wheel liner, light housing, bulb, and ballast to make it work again. Ugh. $95 bucks for a wheel liner, eh? That isn't too bad.
