Porsche 997.2 rear light replacements
Discussion
Not having much luck with my rear light(s)
They were a little crazed an now the left rear has cracked right through so I'm sure it wont be long before it fails...
I bit the bullet and bought 'OEM' from deign 911 at nearly £700 and the fit was incorrect so have two send back, so it looks like the eye watering £1,300 or more for one rear light, I'd ideally but two as the right is crazed and not great. Anyone know how I might be this done at sensible money ?
Replacement does not sit correctly and Banham tried hared to get it to fit
Original is inset by design

If you can live with the crazing and the crack, get them covered (properly, by an expert) with PPF. They'll at least last a few more years.
If the crack is deep (in either the red or clear portion) it can be filled and re-lacquered, then PPF'd on top.
I had a rear light damaged on my 997.2 rear light last year after a bodyshop attempted to remove the rear bumper without first removing the light clusters. The end result was this :
Faced with a similarly chunky bill as you, I had the cluster repaired and this was the result :
Once the cluster was refitted to the car, the repair was invisible
