Market analysis

How much does a used Acura MDX tail light cost?

Asking prices for a used Acura MDX tail light are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 8 times what the cheapest does, so which unit you pick matters more than the median.

Fitment variant moves the price more than most buyers expect. The most affordable variant we track, quarter panel mounted, w/o smoked lens; RH, lists at a $255 median, while quarter panel mounted, smoked lens, LH commands $335, a 31% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.

Model year matters too: 2016 units carry the lowest median at $151, while 2025 tops the table at $310. Parts from 2014–2020 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 7 compatible years.

Against comparable vehicles, the Acura MDX sits 35% above the Hyundai Elantra ($162), 46% above the GMC Terrain ($150), and 46% above the Jeep Grand Cherokee ($150) for the same part. The “similar vehicles” cards below open each comparison guide.

Buying a used tail light: what to check

  1. Inspect for cracked housings and water stains inside the lens.
  2. Confirm body-mounted vs trunk-mounted. Most vehicles use both and they don't interchange.
  3. LED tail lights are far pricier than bulb versions; verify which your trim uses.
  4. Check the wiring pigtail condition if included.
