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.
