Tail light coupler

Anyone know where to find this coupler circled in the image? Bmw parts shows a cone like coupler vs the nut-ball assembly shown in the tail light picture.

Pretty sure that part is what the circled nub inserts into, and the nub itself is part of the housing…

The ball may be non-replaceable.

I believe that nub is molded / plastic welded onto the housing when I had mine out.

I think you are right, it comes with the tail light. Which makes me think the tail light I have has been replaced because mine has a cone shaped tip and its a bit loose. 3m tape will do for now.
