I'm not sure what he used but you're right , hopefully not a heavy duty epoxy . But something strong enough that wont come apart on the road and is water proof . He wasn't too worried about pulling apart again so we will see. What a hassle though , sure wish I could just buy a brand new f*n...

Oh I feel your pain , its very frustrating having such a cool car but cant find certain parts for it anymore . I was lucky enough to find a brand new euro style passenger light , maybe you could find one too ?? I would direct you to where I got it from but it was a friend of a friend and cash only .
I've brought this up before with others also . I purchased a beautiful black 05 XLR in Palm Springs , shipped it up to BC , Canada and could not pass federal / provincial inspections due to 1/2 the passenger tail light not working properly. We called GM canada , used auto wreckers that couldn't...

Just wondering if you happened to get your light working ?? I'm now in the same boat . Couldn't find a light anywhere and came across a new one but with the same 5 prong plug . Now do we need that middle prong or possibly drill a small hole in the center of my 4 prong plug so it pushes in ? any...
