Busted Tail Light!!
Came out of the office today only to notice that I have a busted driver side tail light. There is about a quarter size hole and it looks like it was hit by something pretty hard, kinda like a hammer. No other damage at all 
. Has this happened to anyone else? How much did it cost? Where did you get the replacement from?

I hate it when people have to mess up someone else's stuff. Maybe it was a big truck that pulled too close and hit the tail light. But you would have noticed damage in other places. No clue how much it might cost you. At least the body isn't scratched or dented. Good luck with it.

I had to replace my tail light. Got it from the dealer for about $200 ($191.43) it comes with the bulbs and wires u just cant get the housing. BTW make sure they give u the correct side. The guy in the parts department handed me the box and i checked it b4 i drove away and he gave me the wrong side, what a dumbass.

No altezzas yet for the Pro5. APC said they are working on it, look for it summer. Hopefully sooner. But, youre best bet would be live with it & keep an eye out on the junkyards or wait for someone to do Altezzas. Or spend the money from the dealer (always an expensive choice!) But, APC did say they are working on it, it could be sooner.
