luckily no body damage but...



So looks like i need to buy this to fix it: http://www.infinitipartsusa.com/part...layCatalogid=0

great. $137 for not looking back while backing up.

Any advice on how to fix this for cheaper??? I was just going to buy a bulb and then tape it up as a temporary fix.

By the way the light on the trunk lid wont turn on. im assuming thats cuz the body light isn't working right? turn signal still works fine.

 

Ebay is your friend. Also try car-part.com

There are also LED tail lights on Ebay for around $150 - that's all 4 tail light pieces, left and right sides.

($137 for one tail light piece is bogus. Do not pay that.)

 

Checked Ebay. $110 for non-OEM.
grrr

 

luckily im a foreman for a fence company and can fix that upright for ya

 

if you are already willing to pay that price, why not take a look at the led tails available for your car and see if that is an option. here is a link to make it simpler led tails

 

the only reason i am considering the dealer is because i can drive up and get some. I drive a lot at night and a busted tail light is sure to attract a few cops. The LEDs are tempting though so ahhhh..so many options.

 

By The Way: What do to about the paint? i've never done body work before so im clueless.

 

I would first start by grabbing a decent buffing and polishing compound, and put in some elbow grease either with a buffer, or a microfiber towel. Chances are a decent amout of those small scratches will come out.
Working with paint is tricky. I have always turned to a bodyshop for paint-work, because my d.i.y is horrible!
