FL Looking for broken tail lights

OK,

I know this is an odd request. But I would like to find a pair of broken taillights.

When I say broken I mean just the outside lens being cracked or even shattered. As long as the parts under that are in good shape

I have a tail light mod I want to try but don't the ***** to take mine apart and try it on them.

So if anyone has a single they want to contribute or a pair I will take them.

Hit me up on here and I'll pay for the shipping to me.

I have one. I was rear ended and the plastic shattered. The internals are fine and everything still works. I will sell it to you for $100.


jk, pay for shipping and its yours. Once I get it replaced of course. It's the drivers side tail light.

I got both side with no lens.
LEDs are still in.
Not sure if I could find the bulb holders.

It was from my mod went wrong.
Basically, I tried to bake it open and it doesn't work.

Pay the shipping and I'll give you for free.

Thanks to everyone who is offering to sell me their broken stuff. But I was hoping to get someones broken lights that they might have had just sitting around in their garage.

I would have post this in the forum for buying and selling if I wanted to pay more than shipping.

I thought I would try a taillight mod on a broken set. If it looked good i would post how I did it. For other to do.

If it was a single peice then how does the seal break allowing moisture into the tail lights I guess anything is possible.

The seal is not leaking on the lenses side. It's the way the water runs down inside the trunk lid causing it to leak from the back. Just poor design

????

So can you explain to me why puting clear silicone around the outside of the light prevent anymore moisture from getting into my tailight? That seems like a broken seal to me.

I guess not, mine actually filled with water after a hard day of rain. When I pulled them out to drain them the seals on the back were soaked.
