Unhappy Finding taillight housing defuser / reactor / reflector lens

When changing the side marker bulbs today, I broke one of my defuser lens in the taillight housing and damaged the other.

An hour or so of internet searching has revealed none of these for sale, other than included with the $500 housing.

Perhaps I'm using the wrong term to describe the part.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Max

Why not glue it back together?

I was in a similar position last year, and someone suggested cutting out a piece of the plastic that is used in some fluro ceiling lights in offices.. I think it's called a 'refractor'... I did it, and it works fine.

Glueing is the next step. The trouble is, there's the little bits on the ends of the columns that snap to the house. All but one broke off.

I see your car is a Euro and those are Euro only parts you have shown. I'd try gluing them and then see what's left of the studs.
