Model year matters too: 2016 units carry the lowest median at $310, while 2024 tops the table at $874. Parts from 2015–2017 are interchangeable, so if the 2016 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 3 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.
