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...
