Market analysis
How much does a used Subaru Ascent tail light cost?
Asking prices for a used Subaru Ascent tail light are unusually spread out: the top listing asks about 8 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, quarter panel mounted, RH, lists at a $145 median, while liftgate mounted, RH commands $218, a 50% gap inside the same part category. Confirm which variant your VIN requires before comparing quotes.
Model year matters too: 2018 units carry the lowest median at $125, while 2023 tops the table at $209. Year-level pages linked in the table above break each one down by grade and variant.
Against comparable vehicles, the Subaru Ascent sits 5% above the Hyundai Elantra ($162), 13% above the GMC Terrain ($150), and 13% 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.
