Anyone else have this problem?

[Andy H]

I decided to take my black out head light and tail light covers off. I noticed on both tail lights on the outer ends there are sunken in spots. It's like the plastic got too hot sunk in. Anyone else have tail light covers cause this? I guess I'm going to have to buy new tail lights. :mad:

Yes, unfortunately that has happened to many F-Bods. It happened to my 97, my friends 96 and now his 97 and even a 2002 in our club. Sadly, about 1 in 4 members in my F-Bod club have that problem.

wow, I didn't realize it was that common. I guess I'll leave my covers off now.

I called the dealer and they wanted 137.90 a piece for them. I didn't think warranty would cover but i took it in anyway. And well, I have two new tail lights on the way, and I don't pay one dime. :D

so this happens to pretty much everyone that puts on rear blackouts?
hrmm. i was thinking of putting rear blackouts on my car, but now I might just get the Carbon fiber back lights that I have seen before and liked..

correct me if I misinterpreted everything :D

How long does it take for this to happen? I've had black outs on for almost a year and a half now and my lights are fine.

Mine had been on for about 1 year. It must be a big problem because when I talked to the dealer i bought my car from he knew what caused it. I told him they were sunk in and he said you had tail light covers on didn't you? He said he has seen it happen before. But the guy over in service department didn't ask if I had tail light covers on and I didn't tell him. He ordered me two new tail lights and said warranty will cover it.
