Please give me your address and I will ship you another set for $9.95 shipping handling packaging etc. but otherwise free. The reason they crack is there isn't even support under them and they are over tightened. Put a little gasket sealer in the screw threads if you are concerned about the screws backing out but just tighten them snug. The light fixture is captured by the outside bracket mount and the Light Saver and will not fall out. Tightening the screw more does not secure the light better, it only cracks the Light Saver tabs. Anyone with cracked Light Saver tabs should just send $9.95 to porschetaillight@gmail.com, and I will ship you a set of replacements if you are in my database as a past customer, no questions asked.

They do not crack easily. They crack if they are over-tightened on an uneven base. They should be tightened to a snug tightness and gasket sealer in the threads is a good way to keep the screws from backing out.

Yes, that is correct. Replacements are not a problem. Screws should not be over-tightened and a level base for them to mate with should be built up under them. Gasket sealer should be placed in the screw threads to keep the screws from backing out, and the screws should be snug, not tight.

Guess I need to loosen mine up and use the recommended gasket sealer on the screws. Will try that.
