I recently chipped a small corner on my Depo taillight, and while my OCD tendencies will probably mean I'll have to replace it, for the heck of it I decided to google tail light repair to see if anyone had some ideas I might not have thought of. I was right!

I never can get over the skill level of our fellow citizens. Skip right to the two minute mark to see the finished product. I can't even tell where the hole was!

Hmmm... I might do that on an Audi, but never on a Porsche !

I think of high level craftsmanship resulting in when upon completion, you cannot tell there has been a repair, this is not that. For me this repair translates to, it's more important to keep the lights on than buy a new one. The cost for this repair is it looks like crap and to be honest I can do this repair.

I'm gonna post this over on ferrarichat.com . Those guys really get screwed on the cost of replacement parts. I'm sure they'd appreciate it.

This made me laugh after I realized I did not heed OP's advise to skip to the result and wasted 2 mins watching, lol.

Perfect patch technique for those LED tail lights

The fact that this guy not only considered this an acceptable repair, but that it was so good it just had to go on You Tube as a "tutorial" is what cracked me up.

My guess would be that this is somebody with a beater car, little or no money, and an inspection coming up. Back when I was one of those guys (i.e. high school), I would've thought this repair beat the alternatives of red cellophane or being a pedestrian.

That said, I don't think I'd have felt compelled to make up a "tutorial." And, of course, back then there were junkyards everywhere. A new used tail light for a '63 Buick Special would've cost about three bucks.
