Well, I kinda broke(I broke) my tail light. It's the metal part of the tail light, we're the grommet goes.

How do I fix this? Plastic weld? Or new tail light?

Not sure if you already have em, but anything broken is a good time for an upgrade mod....some new LEDs?

I can tell you that caulk will hold an entire tail light in for several years although I wouldnt recomend it as a first choose

Okay. I have no idea how to put the damn grommet on and it be in there, sort of.

I'm not spending anymore $$ on my tail lights. I'm now on my heads, and fogs
