as the title says
Alas the plastic glass cover on the drivers side rear light cluster is busted and looking on flebay seeing that 3rd gen lights are a lot cheaper, would the physically fit? without mods etc perhaps?

cheers

In a word........no !,
you could cut the broken lens out and repair it with a part of the third gen one though

3rd gen ones are about twice the size...

2nd hand ones come up on ebay sometimes, or people breaking cars.. what year's yours ?

The lenses are all one piece anyway.

You can get new lenses now, about $100+shipping from F-body warehouse.

I had some good lights shipped from the US was fairly cheap. Or they do come up on UK ebay occassionally. The last lot I saw sold really cheap (£50 ish)
