Market analysis
How much does a used Kia K5 tail light cost?
Asking prices for a used Kia K5 tail light are unusually spread out: the top listing asks more than ten 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, bumper mounted, LH, lists at a $95 median, while decklid mounted commands $567, a 497% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2019 units carry the lowest median at $250, while 2025 tops the table at $468. Year-level pages linked in the table above break each one down by grade and variant.
Against comparable vehicles, the Kia K5 sits 84% above the Hyundai Elantra ($161), 97% above the GMC Terrain ($150), and 97% 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
- 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.
