These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

It is a common problem on wide body 996s for the rear light cluster mounting lugs to crack and break. I saw these on RennTech.org, which look like a good solution: http://www.yourcarcarecompanion.com/products.html

POST 3Original post

Hi Richard, I also had to replace a cluster due to damage. I've seen quite a few of these fittings damaged but wasn't aware of the Light Saver solution until reading your post - thanks. After a bit of research I found them on their eBay page for $70 including delivery which is quite a bit cheaper than the link you posted. I'll let you know once they've arrived and I've fitted them. Definitely think they're a worthwhile investment for anyone with the wide bodyshell. Thanks, John.

POST 4Original post

Just a quick follow-up. They arrived today all the way from California... which is impressive within itself! They were straightforward to fit. They were exactly as described. Only thing I noted was that the screws do need tightening quite a lot so they fit snuggly enough and don't stop the engine compartment lid from closing.... just an observation and not a criticism. As for whether I recommend them I can only sat that if you're at all concerned by the lugs on the fittings breaking then order these as a precaution. Cheers, John.

POST 5Original post

I got these about a month a go and they are a good idea. Basically a good cover up
