Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I just replaced mine with oem after 133,000 miles - the old one were shagged - cloudy - scratched and corroding inside Expensive - but worth it in the end
An option before expensive replacement could be giving the lights a polish. It might require a machine polisher to do this. Saying this without encontering the issue with rear lights, but on fronts they can usually be polished & certainly from the 981/991 cars where this is more common, it might be a result of the UV film breaking down. If on the inside then recourse might be a repair or replacement.
Many thanks,have tried the refurb route,looks like OE then,brace yourself wallet!
What about a breakers yard? Assuming the car's not been damaged on the rear!
