The most affordable variant we track, w/o animated lighting; LH, lists at a $400 median, while animated lighting (opt TAU), RH commands $600, a 50% 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 $216, while 2025 tops the table at $500. Parts from 2015–2020 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 6 compatible years.

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.
