This guy makes it seems like the lens is not sealed? Y'all sure it sealed? ****!

He baked it, that's why the glue is loose and the outer lens came off easily. Again you can't buy just the lens.

You can clearly see it was not a clean break not only is the outer lens broken, but the sides of the tailight are also broken and jagged.

I don't understand how an automatic car wash could cause that damage...

He never stated if he brought it to the attention of the car wash. I would expect them to pay for the damage if their equipment damaged my car.

Never seen any aftermarket tails for the 4GS...you can always red-out the orange corners:

Amazon

Its funny because for the 3GS, there were no "orange" portions of the tail lights, it was red and clear/white for the reverse/turn signals. They went back to the orange lens color for the '13-'15 4GS's.
