My passenger side puddle lens was broken by the previous owner. It will not stay in place because the tabs are broken. Does anyone know the part number?

Take the time to sand off then polish the texture on the lens. If done correctly, it will be crystal clear.
Even go as far as tape over the lens and use some "chrome" paint from auto store to paint the exterior section that fits inside the mirror assembly.

This will put a mirror like reflective surface inside the lamp assembly and force all the available light out through the lens.
This increases the total lumen output significantly.

my issue is more the tabs not holding the assembly in firmly. I think I will hot glue or silicone them tight before shelling out 100 a piece.

use a lighter to heat up the tabs and bend them out some.
hold them until the tabs cool completely.


Dont get crazy with it.
If you break them, I have Plenty, as I mod and sell them.
