    Just has something very similar happen in a wind storm a good 150 down the drain. But best of luck at least its super easy to change out.... maybe time for a upgrade if you wanted black housings.

    .......and they ain't cheap. Keep your eye on the for sale section here sometimes you can find them reasonable....the stealership will choke you.

    I backed into a tree turning around on a trail and star-cracked my driver side tail light. So bent-outta-shape over it I ordered a replacement before I even left the trail. I was too busy to swap it when the new one came in, aaaaaaaaand two years later I'm still driving around with the cracked tail light and the new one in a box.

    I bought the above light from Amazon and it took three lights before they finally sent me one that didn't leak. Once I got a good one it seems to be fine. A year and a half later and it's still good
