taillights chipped on outside

[jdsmirin]

Was in industrial areas and piece of scrap went flying into taillights

Just wondering if anyone knows where to buy the clear casing of the taillights. they're SSV taillights btw not the sv6 ones

Cheers in advance,

You won’t.
Replace the whole assembly.

You know who damaged it ?
They can pay for it,

Assuming it’s a Sedan !,
Replacements will be hard to find,
May I suggest replacing them with Calais Taillight units. ?,
as they alway look cool.

Needs the matching rear bar too

Would have thought Holden would still carry these? Bumper covers are readily available. Much like bar covers I would have thought tail light housings would be something they need to stock for crash shops to buy, at least for a few more years yet?

They aren’t cheap. My SSV had a minor leak on the left rear taillight when I bought it that would see it fog up after a couple of days of rain.

After seeing the price of new genuine ones I decided to seal up the existing one. Just needed some sealant around where the clear lens is glued onto the body of the light.

Indeed.

Don't want to have to replace mine out of my own pocket.

I bought aftermarket ones (not LED, the ones that look like the original) at least 5 or 6 years ago and they are still in pretty good shape (car is not even garaged), no leaks.
