Just after some advice I was loading some stuff into the rear and I knocked the rear brake light and now is got a crack in it.
It doesn't look HUGE and its hasn't left a hole but its about 10cms long and the crack gos from the surface to the internal part. Alas what should I do? Do I just go buy some cheap selleys silcone stuff and cover it or can I leave it? And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't say I have to replace it lol (I don't want to know how much a new rear light is :togo: ) |

I would replace it because of condesation. But that is me. I don't know of any fix that would do the trick, that would look neat and tidy

Is it one of the side brake lights? As in, it's not the brake light in the spoiler?
If it is, I've got a spare set of tail lights lying around. I can sell you the replacement one if you wanted to do that. PM me if you're interested mate.

Were you trying to load the car with a forklift or something! They're pretty hard to break.

We are moving house and so I was picking up a furniture trolley from my mums and so I had a backseat down and was lifting it in and the trolley slipped and obviously the metal frame hit the light :
