I have a set of OEM 997.2 Tail lights..I dont think this is worth posting in the FS section, so just curious.

The ends which are pointed got damaged in shipping so basically cracked off and useless to mount on any car. However, the backing and all housings are in tact. Wondering if this worth anything before basically even throwing them away, even $25 or something?

can the corners be superglued back on? i have seen many sets of tails with corners re-glued and people do indeed buy them.

Hang em up in your garage, and hook em up to a plug in switch and use em for decoration.

You might want to consider checking with Slicky Rick. He has a post talking about problems with his rear lights here: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...s-997-2-a.html

Maybe with some minor fix-up yours might be worth something to him??? Or are they too broken? I've also seen posts from other that have glued the tips back on with good success.

I am actually looking for a damage set to experiment with, sent you a PM. If you are willing to part with them, let me know how much you want for them. Email me.
