Broken tail light

Can this be fixed? Any ideas will be very much appreciated

 

Sure it can be fixed. Go ghetto and put a piece of tape over it.

Was my first thought also.

 

Nope

 

Only way to avoid the ghetto look is new, Craig list or wrecking yard, Used Car Parts which is where I'd look

 

Weld some clear plastic on there?

 

Bummer, OP!

 

highly doubtful it can be repaired, but you could call the manufacturer(they look aftermarket) and see if they sell part/instructions or if you can send in for repairs.

 

How’s that happen? Rock chip while driving in reverse?

 

I’ve cracked two tail lights so far and just ordered and replaced with new ones.

 

Duct tape.

 

no, you need to replace the entire tail light.

vehicle lighting assemblies are certified for use as a complete assembly to comply with DOT specifications. so they're glued together to minimize issues due to that certification process. an easily replaceable lens could introduce lighting reflections which could cause issues with light output.

 

I wish I knew

 

reminds me of a bb gun. has enough omph to break the outer lens, but not enough to do any damage within the housing.

 

Yeah I'd def go this route. Small piece of plastic + Epoxy or MMA adhesive.

Also could even try JB PlasticWeld, which contains both the resin and hardener in one stick. You can safely shape it with your hands before it dries. It dries an off-white color, and it can be sanded, painted, and cut after it hardens. I haven't used it before though.
