    Cracked tail light

    How do I repair a crack in a tail light? Is there some sort of resin out there that I can let drip into the crack and wipe away so that it's invisible?

    I thought super glue...but super glue melts some plastics, so i don't want to risk it.

      I used a clear epoxy on a crack. It seemed to work but after a while it still leaked.

        i'm guessing you don't have any recommendations with repair kit brands, seeing as you had to google it, do you?

          I would just replace the light with another used one.
