Well I did the unspeakable this morning and cracked my driver side tail light lens. I don't see any available online. Does anyone have one they'd be willing to sell?

Jacob,
I too have been trying to track down a left taillight. They are rare.
However, take heart. If all you have is a crack, there may be ways to repair it. Depending on the damage, it may require sacrificing a right side lens for replacement segments. It also requires cutting away the backside of the lens housing to have enough room to work, but this can be reassembled after the repair. If the crack or damage is extensive, it would not be a candidate. Even with skilled technique, the repair will not be perfect, but when done well it can pass pretty close scrutiny. Send me a PM.

Thank you, Ron! I didn't think about using the right assembly to fix the left. One of my red segments was shattered in about 8 pieces. I collected them and managed to glue them back (after disassembling the housing). It's not perfect, but it works for the time being. I feel like an idiot for letting it happen. I was testing a tune on my ev conversion and rolled into something in my garage. Lesson learned (I hope).Quote:

If you are on Facebook you should follow this project. Brandon is working to 3D print replacement tail light assemblies and lenses: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DeLo...57389195427382
This may eventually be an option until they become available through traditional means.

I like the initiative, but I wonder what inspection stations are going to make of this? My car recently failed for having Toby’s 3rd brake light installed. I can’t imagine this light would pass a state inspection.Quote:
