    So I was loading some chairs into the bed of my truck and one of the legs hit my passenger side taillight, which cracked the lens. Is this something that can be replaced, or do I need a whole new taillight?

    From what I have seen on here, they look to be a sealed light and require cutting to come apart. Is this true? Even if I cam get them apart, I would need a replacement lens, which I doubt I would be able to find.

    Any ideas on where to get a replacement? cost?

    all help is appreciated.

    Cool, glad you were able to find it cheaper, did you check salvage yards and see if they had any? Might be able to find it cheaper that way.

    No. My lense is intact just has a "spiderweb" on it. Why?
