Yeah on the actual housing, where the lens pushes into then that parts I guess bites down. Back in the day it was a thing for people to just come pull your lights off during high school, bc all the GT guys wanted to swap to LX lights, guessing at some point some one messed mine up, to which I used an anti theft device “screws” so they couldn’t just run up and do the pull & snatch. My passenger side is fine still but the drivers needs those screws to keep it in place or the lens will just fall out.Are you talking about the tabs on the housings where the metal clips "bite" Devil? If so, you might need new housings.

Ohhhhhh you know how to sweet talk me Mike!Damn dave. Next winter i'm sending you my taillights and a select sample of regional beers i'd think you'd like
Ha that was me about the housing and yes I could probably just spray the new housings. The clips I was talking about are the ones in blue circles. One of mine is completely broken but the others don’t look bad but for whatever reason the lens doesn’t stay snug in there any more, like the little prong on the clip with the teeth just aren’t biting down. The housing is fine though other wise for being original it’s my lens, they have some cracks. I think the LX lenses are the cleanest looking but I also like the cobra lenses as well. Any who it looks as though those clips can just pull off or be replaced. Not sure where to find them.Not to be the class idiot here, but do you just want the metal clips?
You said the housing is cracked, but want to keep them because they’re red. They’d be fairly easy to fix. How large are the cracks (picture maybe?).
The lx lenses are nicer to me as well. If you’d rather refresh those though, that’s pretty easy.
Wait a minute, this is Bill’s thread. Bill, I can paste the area of my build we’re I redid mine if that would be helpful. I think they came out pretty nice.
Here’s a gratuitous picture of when I finished them,
