So my backing sensors don't work, never really have (they go off any time they like with nothing there and then not at all when somethings there) and I went to far and backed into the concrete block wall at work scratching my plastic painted bumper! Worse I suspect - i cracked the very bottom edge of the rear headlight unit. It's almost as if it's not cracked right through, I can't feel the crack edge but can see it (about 2cm long) and very much doubt any water could get in as can't even feel it. It's about a cm from the bottom edge (below the lights part). Will this mean I can't get a warrant (if they even see it). Bet costs a bomb to replace (2012 european car).

Can you see light through the crack? Tail light?

Assuming it's the brake/tail light. As above says, so long as no white light shows through the crack at night, should be absolutely fine.

Hi op. Think it is clear it is a rear light cluster. As others say if you can't see white light you're good. And you can remedy any possible moisture by taking it off and smearing some plastic glue on inside of crack. I would as moisture can get in tiniest crack.

Back it is (nice one intrade). Didn't think that one through did I. So i doubt there'd be any light emitting via this area is it's the very base of the TAIL-LIGHT! Thanks for the suggestions too. Cheers :)

Glass cover on insurance may cover it?

Trouble is - some of the pricks have put an excess on glass now!
