wheres the crack? if its in the black part, you can use body filler, sand and spray paint the trim, a few of us have done that.. .

You used to be able to buy replacement lenses, but not any more.

Unfortunately, you will need to buy new lights.

Yah that one wouldn't even look right on a clean car. How does the other one look? If the other one is clean maybe you can just find a clean passenger one? Just throwin ideas out, I picked up my s5 tails for dirt cheap as well but they looked a bit better.
