Cracked rear light lens

[ZedM]

Just spotted a crack in the nearside rear lens of my 2003 2.5i SE Z4. Two questions. Is it an MOT fail and do we have any threads on rear light cluster replacement? My search came up with nothing. All help/advice gratefully received. TIA Rgds, Martyn

There are quite a few on ebay for around £50

Edit. Some at £30
I doubt it will be an MOT failure unless it shows white light.

Thanks for the quick response. I thought it would be OK MOT - wise but having the crack in it is "cracking me up"! Just found one on Flea Bay for £20 so I might just change it over anyway. Thanks again for your help.

It's quite straight forward to do.Take off cover in the boot,unplug the loom from the lamp undo the three nuts and push lamp out from inside.

Got it! Thanks for that. Can see what you mean and have ordered the replacement unit. Thanks again.

Let's hope that it is as good as it looks!

S/H lens/light fitting arrived yesterday with just a couple of small marks but also fitted with the (correct) Sterling Grey trim. Fitted today, looks and works good. £19.99 from BM Auto Spares on eBay. Result! Thanks for advice.
