It's not worth fixing. If you shop around you can find one relatively cheap. I replaced both of my rear bumper lenses and socket housings for 60 bucks, new.

how is it not worth fixing? some silicon or epoxy will cost 5 dollars and a little bit of time, versus 60+ dollars for a new taillight, to me, thats worth fixing. just my .02

I can probably find one rear tail lamp lens for less than 60 bucks. You put epoxy over it and it's going to look like **** and who knows how long it's going to last. Probably not the ten years that the original lasted. This is just my opinion don't eat me alive if you don't agree.

haha im not

my passenger taillight had a crack in it, i took it out and used a small paint brush to wipe some silicon on the inside over the crack. looks like someone pushed on it, as if the vehicle was stuck and someone pushed the vehicle. but thats not possible, because Land Rovers dont get stuck haha

its impossible to find Land Rovers in junkyards around here, so in my case it would be easier to fix it if its not too horrible. but if i ever found one in a junkyard for cheap, i would probably snag it.

Miami has two Land Rover junkyards. They buy them dirt cheap from the rich snobs that want to upgrade to the Range Rover Sport with 24 inch rims and Strut all show and no go package and also the trophy wives that wreck them while they are talking on the cell phone and putting on lip gloss. They mostly ship the used parts to South America and the Caribbean. I have saved some money buying junk from them.

6 bucks>60 bucks. I managed to make my epoxy fix look pretty clean. You can sand and polish the stuff. Who cares what the rear tail lights look like anyway.
