The most affordable variant we track, w/o LED tail lamps; Hatchback, lid mounted, RH, lists at a $75 median, while w/o LED tail lamps; Sedan, quarter panel mounted, LH commands $158, a 111% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2015 units carry the lowest median at $78, while 2019 tops the table at $107. Parts from 2011–2016 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 6 compatible years.

Buying a used tail light: what to check
- Inspect for cracked housings and water stains inside the lens.
- Confirm body-mounted vs trunk-mounted. Most vehicles use both and they don't interchange.
- LED tail lights are far pricier than bulb versions; verify which your trim uses.
- Check the wiring pigtail condition if included.
