    Broken back light of mirage

    hello

    this week I had a little accident with my mirage and right case of the back light bulb has broken,
    I called my garage and they told me they can only fix the whole head light (about 300$ job), and not only the red case that is broken...
    anyone know how much should it cost me to buy only the red case?
    (if you know what's the name of the piece I am reffering too I will glad to know it's name)

    Sorry to hear about the accident.

    I don't know what the official name might be, but it's probably called a "tail light assembly" or "brake light assembly"? eBay would be a good place to look, probably.

    Depending on how much or how little you want to spend, you may look into 3M repair film. http://www.amazon.com/3M-03341-3-75-...ed+lens+repair I used the clear version about 2 years ago on the headlight of my wifes' Hyundai Accent. Same thing, they wanted like $300 for the headlight. The plastic is *thick*, but whatever sticky stuff they have on it sticks like crazy through sun and snow, because it looks just as good 2 years later. You can cut it with scissors to fit the shape, and I rounded the pointy corners to avoid points that might stick up and catch.

    You can't buy just the red part. It's an assembly as stated above.


    Will weld for beer.
