Lost my right headlight "black cover"

Hi, don't know the word for it in english, but somehow I manage to lose my right headlight cover. Don't know how that was possible since it was put on very well. I discovered when I parked my car today in the garage and went for a look-over. And the stickers that were glued on, were still there. So it must have popped out somehow. I was kinda speeding on the highway. maybe 150 mph at one stretch. So maybe some wind got under it and "whooosh"?
Does anyone know where I can just get the one part, without buying the whole kit again? The kit was very expensive.

try a search on Ebay for headlight covers they are sold in pairs. You'll be lucky to find just one, unless someone here has one lying around.

Thanks! I found a kit on ebay for just 100 dollars. And guess what, when I asked my local shop to find one for me I had to pay 300 dollars! Seems they ripped me off. Because what I found on ebay now was brand new and the excact same type.
