Market analysis
How much does a used Kia Sportage tail light cost?
Asking prices for a used Kia Sportage 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, US built, liftgate mounted, (LED), combination, LH, lists at a $175 median, while Korea built, quarter panel mounted, incandescent, LH commands $368, a 110% 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 $100, while 2024 tops the table at $315. Parts from 2014–2016 are interchangeable, so if the 2015 fits your vehicle, it offers the best value across 3 compatible years.
Against comparable vehicles, the Kia Sportage sits 17% above the Hyundai Elantra ($162), 27% above the GMC Terrain ($150), and 27% 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.
