    Double bubble epoxy is amazing. Dries clear. Lasts forever. Strong as hell.

    Use a lighter and melt it back together. 60% of the time, it works every time.

    I didn't know I was supposed to be worried about a cracked tail light, mines been cracked for years and nothing is wrong with it so far. The dents and scratches on the paint hide it pretty well.

    @TheDevilYouLove if this is the drivers side, which I believe it is, I have one that I just took off my truck. I could sell it to you. I’m selling the light for $50 + shipping. Let me know if you want more information and pictures and I’ll gladly provide them.

    I appreciate the offer but since the crack isn’t that bad I’m just going to use glue or clear tape to buy me some time. When/if it gets worse I’ll just get one from Amazon, they’re shockingly cheap there.

    Use a soldering iron and melt the crack back together. Probably best to do it from both sides. If you don’t have a soldering iron heat up the tip of a knife. It might not look that great though.

    I would be careful about quality with parts off Amazon.

    It's a tail light assembly, not an artificial heart. It will be just fine.
