    I backed into a stakebed truck and broke my passenger-side tail light. Actually, I didn't break the lense, only the two very cheaply-engineered plastic mounting tabs on the lense. Considered double-sided tape, but there are not sufficient mating surfaces to allow that to work. (Where TF is that Flex Seal guy when you need him anyway?)

    Can you point me in the right direction of super pricing for a factory replacement? Thanks.

    I’d try epoxying or glueing the tabs first. If that didn’t work, i’d try a few wrecking yards or Craigslist before biting the bullet and buying a new one.

    If I had car door mounting adhesives I would do just that.

    Check the Classified forum on this site. I see OEM tails for sale there every so often.
