Cracked Tail Light

[Pasquale D. Francesco]

I have a crack in my driver tail light lens at the top, no damage to the actual light just to the red lens. My question is do I have to replace the whole light or does the 19 silverado RST have any sort of replaceable lens.

It’s all one piece and sealed together. RST has LEDs too, so it probably ain’t gonna be cheap.

Hauff so went to price this bad boy out this morning 1074$ MSRP (Canadain) 

Found a replacement LED light on ebay for 550$ including shipping to my door. Even the dealership guy was taken back by the price for a taillight. Alll vehicles these days are set up for you to dump money in. Thanks for the help OnTheReel!

And that's why insurance rates are so expensive. Discovered I could save over $600/yr on insurance premiums for the 3 vehicles by increasing the deductible for comprehensive/collision coverage from $200 to $500.....a no brainer. And LED taillights are cheap com,pared to the auto folding, heated, side radar, blindfold spot mirrors.....don't want to break off one of those backing up or wacking a roadside mailbox.

Have you seen the new windshield repair kits that come with a small wand that applies the clear epoxy (or whatever the repair agent is) directly to a crack? They do not look like they use the pressure method like more common windshield repair kits. I am wondering if this could be used on your tail light lens and save you the cost of replacing it.

I think it’s called automotive glass nano repair fluid.

Yikes, you can probably get a set of after market lights for half the cost of one OEM replacement if Anzo or Spyder have some out yet. Will look better and make your truck stand out from the crowd a bit too.
