Damn itNo actual damage to the lights, everything still works because that bottom bit is mostly decorative. Am I allowed to keep driving like this or do I need to get it fixed? I am going to get it serviced in a month or so, is it ok to wait until then? What should I buy the parts off eBay and do it myself?Pls help...
>>29050323Damn who let grandma out on her own again
>>29050325I didn't see the bollard, i was doing a three point turn because the parking lot suddenly became a one way roadIt's between two disabled parking spaces... you know, so people in wheelchairs can't actually get out of their cars
>>29050323grandpa found the car keys
>>29050323>No actual damage to the lightsFor now. Shit's open now so it WILL fog up frequently, everything inside will corrode and the tail light will stop working in a couple months.
>>29050346oh noa honda fit taillightwhat a loss
>>29050347They will constantly pull you over with a non working tail light in a couple months tho. If getting bothered by them non stop isn't an issue for you sure go ahead and live that life.
>>29050350the bulbs still work retard the plastic case is irrelevanthowever you WILL get shit if enough of the casing is broken to allow the unfiltered white light through, in some jurisdictions shining a white light from the rear of your car while moving forward is illegal and a cop would want you to put red tape over the hole.
>>29050351>the bulbs still work retard the plastic case is irrelevantwhat is reading comprehension
OP hereIf I get a replacement part on eBay is this easy enough for me to replace myself?How long do you think I can drive around like this before it becomes a problem? Im a student with not much cash right now, but in a few months I will get a payment for my work experience. Today was actually the first day of my work experience so I can't be without a car on weekdays for the next three weeks
>>29050366Do you live in europe? I can post a junkyard website where you can get parts for cheap. https://rrr.lt/encompare the price of a junkyard light with ebaythere is probably a video on youtube on how to replace the light
>>29050369>>29050366Sorry, im in australia, area called east gippslandIt seems I'm going to have to buy this thing and fix it myself. I'm not completely useles, I did once replace the clutch cable on a cg125 motorcycle myself... I could order the part and have it here by the end of the week, I just hope the lights don't die before then because of the rain or something
>>29050372Put some clear packaging tape on it. I drove around like that for years when I got a little hole in my taillight.
>>29050374Good idea!
>>29050374This, I did the same when I was in similar situation as OP
UpdateIt has died... replacement has been ordered, hope i dont get arrested in the mean time, fuck
>>29050389In the mean time you could try to carefully take it out and inspect. If just a plug yoinked out you could stick it back in and glue it into position with some tape (all happening on the backside of course, do not wrap it around the front side kek) until you get replacements
>>29050389>>29050391OH and also I hope you collected the shards because you could try to puzzle piece them together on the rear light and insert them in the hole and THEN put CLEAR tape over the tail light to make them hold in there. The tail light would look way more presentable like this until you can swap it and the cops may not jump you as quickly if the tail light looks sorta complete instead of having gaping holes in it.
>>29050393>>29050391I did not, I was in the way. So the running light seems to work, but the turn signal does not. Now the left turn signal is very fast and only uses the front and mirror turn signalsIt was raining heavily
>>29050323ACT?
>>29050402Vic, east gippslandistan
>>29050403i'm sure in vic there's commodores driving around with no plates so youll be fine
>>29050323do the hot water trick on the bumper to push it back out, then stick a new light in. not hard.
>>29050397lack of resistance in the circuit. hopefully a smashed bulb and not damaged wiring but cross that bridge when you come to it.
>his car doesn't have radar and a camera to make up for shit driving skillsGet a new car gramps
>>29050415This, fix the bumper first with hot water.
>>29050425Im poor
>>29050425Cars without radar and cameras normally have functional windows, cars with cameras and radar awe awful to see out of. Go figure.
just junk your puke greek shitbox, anon it's time for a corvette or hellcat
>>29050323pontiac vibe?
>>29051272honda jazz vibe-s, special edition designed for backing into bollards
>>29050323is it worth to repair? bang it out, clear tape over the light and put something on the scratches so it doesnt rust
