I've got a tail light that's cracked along its lower edge on my R3. All the lights still work.
Does anyone know of a way to replace the clear plastic part instead of going as far as replacing the cluster?

Really hard to find lenses for the R3 unfortunately
They are also ultrasonically welded together, so would have to cut and reseal using silicone

Re: Cracked tail light
unfortunately... It's a case of just find a used replacement light (or pair, as singles are harder to come by usually)

Re: Cracked tail light
[mention]Leck3000 [/mention] has/had a set of R3 rears he might be willing to part with?
I was gonna purchase them for a test/project, but rather not see a decent set of R3 lights cut up!
If you want to part with that broken one, I would be interested for postage cost?

Re: Cracked tail light
Highly likely.....maybe that's why he is so obsessed with them...or because he likes led things
