Lengthy Licsence Light Lense Fix

[Reason for this fix is because i went to at least 8 junkyards and could not find them]

First of all the lens i needed had a huge cracked hole in it, so i took ones off a set of non-grid tail lights and cut a patch for it...


Broken part and patch cut out...


Filing down for the perfect fit...


Patch gorilla super glued in and cracked light socket fixed with a glued zip tie..


Wet sanded flat and got rid of lettering...


Finally done after 2 coats of niteshades...
