Question S5 tails repairable?

I have a set of s5 tails and the outer most lens on the passenger side is broken. I was just wondering if I could just replace the lens or if I would have to buy a whole new assembly? Someone please tell me that I can fix this. I really dont want to buy a new one.

I believe mazda trix sells new lenses. However, they are quite expensive. I believe to the tune of ~240.00ea. When UPS broke a set that I shipped out, I got an invoice for $405 ea for the assembly. I'd buy another set or go to the junk yard. Good luck

Yes you can buy them seperate.

89-92 Left (Convertible) 51-180A-FC33
Right (Convertible) 51-170A-FC33
89-92 Left (Coupe) 51-180A-FC01
Right (Coupe) 51-170A-FC01


To pull them apart you're going to want to heat them up. Search on the net for lens repair. I believe most people put them on a rack and place them in an oven at 300? for 10 mins or so.
