Default Cracked tail light ... Any fixes ??

In the very corner, toward the filler panel .. the lense must have taken a pretty sharp blow at some point. There are about 3 cracks total, none being longer than 1/2" .. but they are noticeable. I'm having trouble finding a decent priced replacement. Is there some way to repair these lenses????

Have you looked on ebay? A tail light is pretty damn cheap.

I picked one up for 25 bucks because one of mine melted. Piece of cake to swap out as well.

There's no way to cosmetically fix the lens. You can seal it, but not make it look new.

Back when I did the swap on my LT1 bird two brand new honeycomb lights were $120 from the dealer.

Recently I bought a pair of Camaro LS1 one's for $40 shipped off the bay. Sounds like it isn't bad so just watch ebay for auctions that end on odd hours and be patient.

Yikes! That's what I was affraid of. I can't find one for a 98/02 T/A for less than $100! I'll keep an eye on eBay though ... there are usually some on there.

Thanks!

Blackouts.

I know this will make most of you cringe but....
My Formula's left taillight has been shattered for 2yrs (I can't find an affordale replacement and don't trust ebay). Its taped up with clear tape and with the blackouts you can't tell its shattered (the entire red lens is there and lights up fine).

Here is a pic:
